A Christmas Carol (TV series)

In this version, Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley are asset-strippers with extensive industrial interests as well as being moneylenders. Seven years after Marley's death, the miserly Scrooge resents people who cherish Christmas as hypocrites, arguing if people were as good as they claim to be during the festive season then they would be so during the entire year. At home, Scrooge's clerk Bob Cratchit and his wife Mary struggle to survive and raise their children, especially the disabled Tiny Tim.

Marley rises from the dead as a spirit bound by chains and encounters the Ghost of Christmas Past. The Ghost tells Marley he will not have rest unless he helps Scrooge find redemption. Marley visits Scrooge, shows him visions of the suffering workers in their mines and sweatshops, and explains that the links of his chains represent lives lost because of their greed. He warns Scrooge that the same fate awaits him unless he heeds the three spirits who will visit him on Christmas Eve.

The Ghost of Christmas Past arrives, first taking the form of Scrooge's abusive father Franklin before showing Scrooge his past, taking on different guises, including Ali Baba, Scrooge's childhood hero. A vision shows Scrooge's childhood self at a boarding school, where he was made to stay during the Christmas season and was sexually abused by the schoolmaster. Scrooge learns his father knew of the molestation and allowed it in exchange for the schoolmaster waiving attendance fees. Scrooge's sister Lottie rescued him one year, telling him their father was out of the family and, unbeknownst to Scrooge, threatening to shoot the schoolmaster if he ever touched her brother again.

The Ghost then shows Scrooge a Christmas during which Mary asked Scrooge for a loan of £30 so Tim could have a life-saving surgery. Scrooge offered to give her the money if she came to his apartment on Christmas Day. The next day, Scrooge made Mary admit she was willing to prostitute herself to save her child, and watched her undress. He then said that he did not desire her, but that he wished to see how easily people abandon their morals for money. Scrooge gave her the money and threatened to tell her husband if he should ever leave his employ. Humiliated, Mary told Scrooge he would one day see a "mirror" showing him his true self, stating that as a woman she had "the power to summon such spirits."

The Ghost of Christmas Present appears, in the form of Scrooge's long-dead sister Lottie, the mother of his nephew Fred. She and Scrooge watch the Cratchit family celebrating Christmas together. Bob announces he will resign from Scrooge's employment in the morning, as he has found another job. Scrooge wishes to tell Mary he will not reveal their arrangement to Bob, but, sensing his presence, Mary tells him to leave.

The Ghost of Christmas Future appears as a man in black with his mouth sewn shut. Scrooge sees the next day that Cratchit resigns, now aware of what Scrooge did to Mary. While skating on a frozen pond, Tim falls through the ice and freezes to death. The Ghost then shows Scrooge his own corpse, alone with no mourners. Marley arrives and talks of redemption, but Scrooge refuses a second chance, saying he does not deserve forgiveness and will accept his fate, if only Tim will live.

Marley is returned to his grave to rest and Tim's grave vanishes as Scrooge is transported back to reality on Christmas Day, at a point before Cratchit has announced his resignation. Scrooge visits the Cratchit home, wishes Cratchit well in his new job, and gives him £500, announcing he is closing down his business. Mary thanks Scrooge for the money, but says it will not buy her forgiveness. He replies he will not want or earn forgiveness, but simply work to be the best person he can be. He thanks her for summoning the "mirror" and, as he walks home, scatters a bag full of gravel on the pond so no one will be able to skate there. Looking of out the window after he leaves, Mary tells the three spirits that there is still much work to do.

The Argument (film)

A couple get into an argument while hosting a party. They and their guests later decide to re-create the argument in order to settle their disagreement over how the argument occurred. The four original participants become obsessed with recreating the argument accurately, first by re-enacting it themselves, but when they are unsatisfied by the results, they eventually hire actors to re-enact the incident.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint

### Setting and characters

The game is set in the year 2025, six years after the events of ''Wildlands'' and one year after the events of ''Future Soldier''. The story takes place on Auroa, a fictional island in the South Pacific owned by a billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist named Jace Skell. Skell is the founder of Skell Technology, a blue chip company producing drones for commercial applications, but the company has also found success as a military contractor developing cutting-edge equipment for the United States government. Skell purchased Auroa with a vision of turning it into a hub for the design, research, development, and production of artificial intelligence and drone technology, which he dubs "World 2.0". The island is made up of a series of individual biomes including marine estuaries and wetlands, fjords, arboreal forests, snow-capped mountains, and active volcanoes.

The main antagonist is former Ghost Lieutenant Colonel Cole D. Walker (Jon Bernthal), who has gone rogue after leaving the army. After witnessing his fireteam be slaughtered on a mission in Bolivia, Walker has come to believe that the United States government does not value the lives of its soldiers. A private military contractor named Sentinel has occupied the island under Walker's command while Walker himself is leading a team of soldiers calling themselves the "Wolves".

Returning characters from ''Ghost Recon Wildlands'' include the members of Nomad's fireteam Dominic "Holt" Moretta, Corey "Weaver" Ward and Rubio "Midas" Delgado.

### Story

Prior to the events of the game, Skell Technology comes under increasing public scrutiny when they are faced with mounting evidence that its products are being used by corrupt regimes. The situation escalates further when the USS ''Seay'', an American cargo ship, sinks off the coast of the Auroa archipelago, and the entire island chain cuts all communication to the outside world. In response, CIA Deputy Director Peter Miles initiates Operation Greenstone, deploying a Ghost Recon platoon to re-establish contact with Auroa and determine the circumstances of the sinking. The insertion ends in disaster when the helicopters carrying the platoon to the island are taken down by a swarm of drones.

Nomad survives the crash, but Midas is missing in action, Holt is crippled, and Weaver is executed by Cole Walker, a former Ghost-turned-leader of an elite paramilitary group called the "Wolves". Nomad gets in contact with Mads Schulz, an ex-United States Marine and ''de facto'' leader of the homesteaders who lived on Auroa before Skell Tech's arrival. Mads reveals that the homesteaders were forced into hiding by a private military company employed by Skell Tech called Sentinel, who had been hired for security following a terrorist bombing on the island, but has now overthrown Skell Tech and declared martial law over the entire archipelago. Nomad meets Josiah Hill, another Ghost survivor with whom he and Walker have history: the three were part of a mission in the Middle East, which ended in disaster when Walker executed their commanding officer for murdering a civilian. After the mission Walker resigned from the Army and disappeared. Nomad then encounters Skell's chief mathematician Maurice Fox and his daughter, Harmony, and discovers that all of Auroa is surrounded by a massive network of drones that prevents anyone from entering or leaving.

After determining that Skell Tech CEO Jace Skell, who disappeared shortly after Sentinel's coup, is the only one who can lift the drone perimeter, Nomad seeks him out. Upon reaching Skell, Nomad discovers that Hill has been secretly working with Walker and the two offer Nomad a place by their side. Nomad refuses and evacuates Skell to Erewhon. Skell reveals that he was responsible for the sinking of the ''Seay'' due to it carrying dangerous technology off the island, but shows Nomad video footage in which Walker and Trey Stone, the founder and owner of Sentinel, discuss a project codenamed "Wonderland". Skell then says that he will be able to hack one of the pylons that controls the drone perimeter, but needs the assistance of several Skell Tech colleagues who are currently scattered around the archipelago.

During the search for one of the employees, Nomad reaches out to the Outcasts, a group of former Skell Tech employees who quit Skell Tech and formed a resistance group in opposition to Skell's increasing interests in transhumanism, led by Haruhi Ito and her brother Diagoroh. While assisting one of Skell's colleagues, Nomad discovers Haruhi and Diagoroh were responsible for the Skell Tech bombing; they had intended only to damage the building as a protest against Skell's transhumanist projects, but they were not aware the building was occupied and had underestimated the explosive power of their bomb. Nomad berates them for their recklessness, but continues working with them after recovering Skell's colleague.

Maurice reveals the identity of a mole in Skell Tech who had been assisting him and attempts to meet her, but he is killed by the Wolves and the mole is kidnapped. Nomad rescues her, killing Hill in the process, and continues to investigate the Wolves' activities. Nomad eventually discovers that Walker's "Wonderland" project is an operation to use a submarine outfitted with drone-equipped torpedoes to assassinate key national figures, in hopes of triggering a third world war as a way of "cleaning" the world and ridding it of corruption. After finding and killing Walker, Nomad assists Skell in hacking the drone pylon, using the drones to destroy Walker's submarine before it departs.

In the wake of Walker's death, Stone consolidates his power over Auroa, Skell Tech, and Sentinel. Nomad returns to Erewhon and is congratulated for thwarting the Wonderland Scheme, but acknowledges that his work on Auroa is not finished. Skell observes the drone swarm above Auroa acting strangely, commenting that the hacked pylon appears to have developed emergent behavior.

#### ''Project Titan''

Released in November 2019, Breakpoint's first raid event, ''Project Titan'' takes place on the previously inaccessible Golem Island, where Nomad is tasked with destroying Skell Tech's "Titan" drones and preventing Sentinel from manufacturing more.

#### ''Terminator''

Beginning with the release of the first mission on 29 January, and the second mission on 1 February 2020, the expansion features two missions involving the Terminator. In the first mission, Nomad is tasked by Maria Schulz to locate a woman in Sentinel detention that managed to take down several armed drones on her own. Nomad tracks down the woman who identifies herself as Rasa Aldwin, a time traveler sent from the future to search for Nomad. However, as she explains her situation, a T-800 Terminator manages to track their location and they are forced to escape. Making their way to Rasa's workshop, she explains that forty years from now in her timeline, an artificial intelligence known as Skynet would be responsible for developing the machines for infiltration-based assassination missions, and would use the machines to wage war on humanity. At the hideout, Nomad is provided with a rifle specifically designed to destroy the machines and sends Rasa to Erewhon. Rasa tasks Nomad to investigate the unexplained presence of multiple Terminators on Auroa and what their true purpose is for being on the island. After detecting strange electro-magnetic patterns coming from one of the Skell-Tech facilities, Nomad discovers that the machines have converted the facility into a factory to begin mass-producing Terminators in the present. Reaching the control room, Nomad comes across the T-800 that was originally encountered in the first mission and is now in control of the facility. After battling and destroying the T-800, Nomad seals the airlock leading into the production facility as it self-destructs; trapping the remaining Terminators inside. With all remaining Terminators on Auroa destroyed, and the threat posed by Skynet now abated, Rasa chooses to stay in the present at Erewhon.

#### ''Deep State''

The spring 2020 DLC ''Deep State'' features a tie-in with ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell'', with actor Michael Ironside reprising the role of Sam Fisher. Fisher is deployed to Auroa alongside his friend Victor Coste, under the guise of working for the latter's private security company, Paladin 9. While Coste is ostensibly working alongside Sentinel to provide logistical support, the duo are actually investigating the kidnappings of military specialists that are traced back to an individual on the island known as "The Strategist." Fisher and Nomad decide to team up when it is discovered that Midas is alive and is being held by the Strategist for a top-secret program known as Project CLAW; an artificial intelligence hive mind that enables human-controlled drone swarms that can be used for military applications. After making contact with and enlisting the help of system analyst Hollie Mackenzie, entomologist Willem Van Dyke, patent legal advisor Stephanie Burgess, and former US Army general Reggie Paxton, Nomad and Fisher discover that The Strategist is Leon Fairrow, a billionaire industrialist and head of weapons manufacturing conglomerate Lomax-Fairrow. Fairrow and his partner, US Senator Michael Lomax are part of a conspiracy that involves high-ranking members of various US government agencies and private development firms to create the drones. Fearing that Fairrow was not reliable and concerned about the kidnappings, the CIA and the Department of Defense had asked Fourth Echelon to investigate. After infiltrating Project CLAW's research facility and facing off against an array of drones, Fisher and Nomad manage to capture Fairrow and rescue Midas, who is evacuated to Erewhon to recover with Holt. Meanwhile, using a short window provided by Mackenzie in the drone swarm that is protecting the island, Fisher and Coste manage to evacuate onboard the C-147B ''Paladin'' with Fairrow in-tow and force him to testify before Congress; in the hopes that his testimony will convince them to officially launch a US military invasion of Auroa to remove Sentinel from the archipelago.

#### ''Red Patriot''

The fall 2020 DLC features the return of Scott Mitchell from ''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier'' as the commander of the Ghosts and Nomad's superior. Mitchell informs Nomad that, in the wake of Wonderland's and Project CLAW's failure, Trey Stone has allied with remnants of the Raven's Rock and Bodark, whom Mitchell had previously encountered in ''Future Soldier''. With Raven's Rock's help, Stone intends to launch a massive attack on the United States called "Operation Kingmaker", in which he will utilize drones loaded with chemical weapons provided by Bodark to conduct a mass assassination of U.S. officials, allowing Kingmaker's designated survivor to take control of the American government. Mitchell tasks Nomad with hunting down and eliminating Stone's allies and destroying key components of Kingmaker to thwart the attack. After Nomad has dealt with Bodark, he tracks Stone to a Skell Tech factory, where Stone reveals he intends to launch the chemical weapon drones against the entire Auroa archipelago in revenge for the Ghosts thwarting his plans. With the assistance of the Outcasts and Haruhi Ito, Nomad is able to stop Stone, killing him and destroying the drones before they can activate.

#### ''Amber Sky''

During Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend of 2021, Ubisoft's official website and all its global YouTube channels announced January 14 DLC featuring operators from fellow Clancy game ''Rainbow Six Siege''. Rainbow operatives Eliza "Ash" Cohen of FBI SWAT, Lera "Finka" Melnikova of the Spetznaz and Mike "Thatcher" Baker of the Special Air Service plus Liu Tze "Lesion" Long of the Hong Kong Police Force Special Duties Unit as point of contact join the Ghosts to assist in stopping Sentinel from producing a chemical weapon – a toxic gas called Amber Ruin – and selling it.

This marks the second ''Ghost Recon'' mission featuring ''Rainbow Six Siege'' operators following 2018's ''Operation Archangel'' DLC for ''Wildlands'', when Meghan J. "Valkyrie" Castellano and Emmanuelle "Twitch" Pichon appeared in Bolivia and assisted Nomad, Bowman and the Ghosts with saving Rainbow comrade Taina "Caveira" Pereira's younger brother João from the Santa Blanca drug cartel.

#### ''Operation Motherland''

The fall 2021 DLC "Operation Motherland" features the return of Karen Bowman, Nomad’s CIA handler from ''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands''. Additionally, a new game mode, "Conquest Mode" is introduced and serves as an alternative to the game's story mode. Bowman is deployed by the CIA to Auroa after the collapse of Sentinel Corp and the Wolves has resulted in renewed interest in the island and its technologies by foreign powers. To mitigate the imminent global crisis, Bowman has been directed to ensure the stewardship of Auroa is handed over to The Outcasts, led by Haruhi Ito, in order to ensure that Auroa becomes a sovereign ally of the United States. As such, Nomad and the Ghosts are tasked with supporting the Outcasts by eliminating the last remaining pockets of enemy resistance across the island via the new conquest mode. To resist the Ghosts, the remnants of Sentinel have subsequently called upon reinforcements in the form of Bodark, a rogue elite Russian Spetsnaz unit from ''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier'' and are equipped with their own enemy archetypes, vehicles, and weaponry such as optical camouflage; a feature that is also unlockable for the Ghosts.

This update also included an easter egg for the ''Tomb Raider'' franchise's 25th anniversary, wherein Breakpoint players can complete a 'Relics of the Ancients' treasure hunt for ''Tomb Raider'' themed rewards.

Close to the Sun (video game)

The game begins with Rose Archer arriving at the Helios after receiving a mysterious letter from her sister Ada, who was invited aboard the ship due to her renowned scientific research; The letter is enigmatic with Ada apologizing for leaving Rose quickly and telling her to come to the Helios. Included with the letter is a strange communication device. Rose boards the ship, but is puzzled to see that it appears empty. As she moves into the Lobby, she discovers the word "Quarantine" painted over the doors before they shut her inside.

Rose travels through the ship before being contacted by Ada through the communication device; Ada claims that she did not send any letter to Rose, despite the fact that the letter was in Ada's handwriting. The two sisters decide to try and meet together in Ada's dorm room. While heading to the room, Rose comes across several mutilated bodies of Helios Scientists. Additionally, the words, "Time is not a River" and "The Circle must be Broken" are scrawled everywhere, seemingly in blood. Ada reveals that there was an accident in one the experiments aboard the ship; The exact nature of the accident as well as who caused it, whether it was overconfidence or sabotage, is not explained. Ada only explains that the experiment had to do with Time, the One-Electron Theory, along with the fact that they were drawing the seemingly endless supply of electricity from time itself. While explaining this Ada also theorizes that a future version of herself sent the letter to Rose using the research she was developing on the Helios.

During these events, Rose has begun to see strange ghostly visions of people. These visions seem to be visions of the past; Of people going about their daily business before the accident. Rose also received a communication from a man called Aubrey, who is trapped in the Engine room and requests her help, but Rose only does not hid the fact that she will only help him after finding her sister. Aubrey shows clear signs of mental instability when he reveals that he talks to the dead body of a friend he calls, "Benny".

Ada finds herself trapped in the surgery room within the Biology labs by mysterious means and asks Rose to find one of her research note books which is hidden in Ada's dorm room. Rose finds the notebook, only to then be trapped within the dorm by Tesla who claims to be trying to manage the situation. Rose enlists Aubrey's help to move through the facility as his position within the engine room allows him to access various parts of the ship. In return, she promises to come and save him, after finding Ada. Aubrey agrees to the deal and opens the door for her. As Rose begins to leave the dorms, she comes across a deranged man butchering a scientist while muttering about breaking the circle. Aubrey calls him Ludwig and instructs Rose on how to escape through a nearby rail-station and onto a rail-car. However Ludwig sees Rose and begins to chase her; He shows knowledge of who she is and blames her for the current predicament, despite Rose having no prior knowledge of him. Rose eventually gets away from him.

The Rail-car eventually derails due to damaged parts of the track and Rose is forced to make her way to the biology labs on foot. As she travels, she comes across a strange blue mist that Aubrey calls "Exotic Energy" which is derived from the time-electricity experiments. She then witnesses two scientists being killed by a strange monster before the monster begins to chase her. Aubrey saves her by sealing the monster behind a door. He calls the monster a "Time Anomaly" and describes them as Antibodies within Time, trying destroy an infection. However, they are only able to appear in the presence of Exotic Energy.

Rose finds herself near an observation deck to the Surgery room and is briefly reunited with Ada, however Exotic Energy begins to flood the room. Ada directs Rose to find her second notebook which contains the rest of her research which is hidden in the Theater, before she is killed by a Time Anomaly. Rose is broken by these events and initially wants to give up, but is incited to keep going by her promise to find all of Ada's research and to save Aubrey. Rose makes her way to the Theater where visions of Ada and Tesla direct her towards the second notebook. These visions also showcase the friendly relationship between the two.

Just as Rose finds the notebook, she is confronted by Ludwig once again. She manages to escape and, by accident, lures him over a weakened section of corridor that collapses under their weight and drops Ludwig into a massive fire. Rose then makes her way to the engine room to find Aubrey. After completing several puzzles, Rose arrives in the engine room only to be ambushed by Aubrey, who reveals that he was listening in on her conversations with Ada; He actually wanted Ada's research. He reveals that he was a well-regarded researcher before Ada arrived. Once she came on board, she took the spotlight with her groundbreaking work and he was demoted from his original post to the engine room. He further reveals that he was responsible for flooding the surgery room with Exotic Energy and causing Ada's death. His goal in this was to take Ada's research and seal the rift that is allowing the Time Anomalies to appear and come out of the event as the hero, thereby returning to Tesla's good graces. Rose, infuriated by this reveal, declares her intention to kill Aubrey. He runs away after this, leaving an injured Rose to face off against numerous Time Anomalies.

Rose is saved by Tesla who somehow manages to force the Time Anomalies away. He takes care of her while she is unconscious before leaving to try and stop Aubrey. Tesla believes that Ada's research is beyond Aubrey's knowledge and that he would only succeed in making the rift worse. He enlists Rose's help via the communicator when she wakes up to climb the Tesla Tower and confront Aubrey. As Rose makes her way to the tower, she comes across the Surgery Room but is shocked to see Ada's body is missing. She then has a vision of herself carrying Ada's body to a garden; An event that she has no memory of which implies that her visions are may be more than they seem.

Tesla's fears are proven true when Aubrey begins to divert power from various parts of the ship in an attempt to close the rift but is only exacerbating the event. Rose begins to ascend the tower and manages to distract Aubrey long enough for Tesla to arrive at the top and begin to fix the problem. However, just as Rose arrives, Ludwig also shows up, having survived the fire, albeit, severely wounded. He stabs Rose in the hand before killing Aubrey, while declaring his intention to break the circle. He tries to kill Tesla as well, but he is saved by Rose who activates the machinery around them to electrocute Ludwig. Tesla begins to work frantically, stating that the machinery is in critical state and directs Rose to escape with Ada's research.

Rose manages to flee the tower before it collapses. Tesla manages to contact her on the communicator revealing that he too survived by unknown means that he does not explain as there are "Too many variables". He directs Rose to his personal escape pod which is ejected from the ship as it sinks. The game ends on a cliffhanger with Rose in the pod, reading Ada's letter understanding the hidden meanings within it, before Tesla declares that Ada's research is key to everything and that using it they can undo everything and save her.

The Fly on the Wall

Set in 1971, in the fictitious Capitol City, the story is interwoven with political machinations. Reporter John Cotton of the afternoon ''Tribune'' newspaper is in the state capitol building's press room filing his column on the day's political events. An intoxicated Merrill "Mac" McDaniels of the morning ''Capitol-Press'' arrives from a long drinking session with Speaker of the House Bruce Ulrich. Mac believes he has just uncovered a story that will be the crowning achievement of his career. Telling Cotton he's leaving to search for his missing notebook, Mac is found dead seven minutes later, several levels down from the press room, on the floor of the capitol rotunda.

Cotton finds Mac's missing notebook in the rear of a desk drawer, and is puzzled by the columns of unexplained figures on one page. The words "Rebar" and borrow stand out. He enlists the help of Janey Janoski, executive secretary for the Legislative Finance Committee, to help him decode Mac's notes and uncover the story that may have ended Mac's life. Janoski identifies "rebar" as material related to highway construction and finds that “borrow” can mean soil borrowed to build up a roadbed. Then Cotton pours through state government records and talks to staff, finding evidence of a complex scheme to double bill the state for concrete meant to be used in road projects while leaving no trail easy to audit. Highway Department staff, a main contractor and a re-insurance company are all involved.

William "Whitey" Robbins of the ''Gazette'' is driving Cotton's automobile when it is rammed by a stolen semi-trailer truck, plunging into the Rush River. Robbins dies instantly, and the truck is abandoned. Although a witness provides a physical description of the driver, he is not found. Initial reports identified the accident victim as Cotton. Cotton speaks to Officer Endicott and Captain Whan about the accident. Whan raises the possibility that the accident was an attempt to kill Cotton.

Alan Wingerd, Governor Roark's press secretary, tries to bribe Cotton. Turning down the offer, and returning home, Cotton receives a telephone threat on his life. He goes fishing in New Mexico, only to be stalked by a killer named Adams. Cotton hooks Adams with his fishing rod, injuring him and ending the chase, and then returns to Capitol City. Captain Whan confirms Adams' real identity as Randolph Allen Harge, an organized crime hit man. Cotton wonders what makes him such a threat. Whan registers him in a motel under the alias of Robert Elwood, and lets him know that he does not have enough manpower to protect him 24 hours a day.

Cotton informs managing editor Ernie Danilov that he is back in town; the Tribune prints a notice on the editorial page saying the columnist is on sick leave. On a rented typewriter in his motel room, Cotton begins to write his story. He takes Janoski into his confidence, and asks her to contact his colleague. Cotton calls the people implicated in his investigation to hear their denials. He is lured into a trap at the capitol building by the killers. After a frantic chase, he escapes to Janoski's apartment, where he re-types his story. He gives one copy to Janey to file for publication and keeps the other copy himself, realizing that the only way to end these attempts on his life is to print the story. He then talks with Joseph Korolenko, old man of Roark’s party, to understand why the scheme of double billing for concrete was done. Korolenko is quite active in supporting Governor Roark in his plan to run for Senator against Clark; Korolenko got money to start that campaign from the company benefitting from the scam, not telling Roark of the link to corruption in his Highway Department. Korolenko has deep antipathy for Clark, who ruined Korolenko’s chances to run for senator in 1954. Korolenko aims his loaded rifle at Cotton, so angry that this graft story will be the main news. Adams aka Harge appears at Korolenko’s door, to dispose of Cotton. Korolenko says, orders are changed; we are waiting to see if the article has been published. If so, there is no need to dispose of Cotton. Cotton is pleased that Janey gave the story to the wire; she trusts him. The story is in print; Korolenko leaves Harge to hold Cotton for 30 minutes at the house. When Harge leaves, the police are waiting outside and arrest him. Cotton rides with Captain Whan, and hears the news on the radio of a homicide in a downtown hotel. Korolenko has killed Clark and surrendered himself to police. Cotton, who had been ready to quit his job and leave town, realizes that Korolenko has made a story to overshadow the corruption story, and Korolenko may need a skilled journalist to get through this next stage. He will stay.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021 film)

Tamara "Tammy" Faye LaValley falls in love with Jim Bakker while studying at North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The two marry despite disapproval from Tammy's mother Rachel, dropping out of college to preach and inspire Christian communities across the United States. Their preaching gets the attention of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, who hires them as hosts of children's show ''Jim and Tammy''. Jim later becomes the first host of CBN's ''The 700 Club'' while the two welcome daughter Tammy Sue.

Tammy and Jim meet conservative pastor Jerry Falwell during a party, with Jerry expressing interest in working with CBN. Following an argument with Falwell in which Tammy dismisses the politicization of faith, she encourages Jim to create their own television network so that they can have control over their own programs. The two leave CBN and create the PTL Satellite Network, with their flagship show ''The PTL Club'' becoming popular over the years. Tammy invites Rachel and stepfather Fred to move in with them at their Tega Cay, South Carolina compound, after which Rachel expresses her growing suspicions over how PTL gets its money.

As the press becomes more skeptical and critical of PTL's handling of its finances, Tammy becomes flirtatious with music producer Gary S. Paxton, whom Jim fires following the birth of their son Jay. In the 1980s, Jim then focuses his attention on building a Christian theme park while Tammy becomes addicted to pills and discouraged by Falwell's political oversight. Fallwell decries the "gay cancer." She invites AIDS patient and Christian pastor Steve Pieters for an interview about supporting the gay community, much to Falwell's disapproval.

After collapsing during a taping, Tammy argues with Jim over their strained relationship. Falwell takes control of PTL following news scandals about PTL's financial debt and Jim's extramarital affairs, including speculations about sexual relationships with men. Jim is ultimately imprisoned for fraud.

By 1992, Tammy and Jim have officially divorced, Rachel has died, and Tammy is struggling to revive her career and find television gigs. She gets an offer to be the special guest for a Christian concert at Oral Roberts University, which she hesitantly accepts. She preaches before performing a moving rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic, during which she imagines a rousing gospel choir performing with her.

A textual epilogue reveals Falwell died in 2007, Jim returned to televangelism for a revived PTL after being released from prison, and Tammy continued to support LGBTQ+ communities until she died in 2007.

In Small Things Forgotten

### Chapter 1: Recalling Things forgotten: Archaeology and the American Artifact

Chapter one is focused on the unique role of the historical archaeologist compared to the prehistoric archaeologist. While the addition of written materials is in many ways beneficial to the anthropologist, there can also be drawbacks to being presented with multiple strains of information. As Deetz explains, "historical archaeology must work with parallel and related sets of information. Yet in some cases there is a disturbing contradiction between what is excavated and what is written down". Additionally, there are problems that come along with artifact typology. By sorting objects into types, an archaeologist risks grouping materials in ways that the original maker may not have intended. A broad category is not always able to capture the various uses or meanings that an object might have had. Despite these problems, the use of historical written materials along with an assemblage of artifacts is overall beneficial, as it forces the researcher to reassess the significance of their materials using multiple lines of evidence.

The chapter continues to detail the various differences between prehistoric and historic sites. The historic period has seen an increase in fill deposits, which can be incredibly useful (see garbology). However, materials recovered from these deposits can be misleading. In some cases, fill containing older artifacts has been moved to new locations, and materials from various sites and times of occupation could be mixed together. In other cases, clean fill might have been deposited in a structure in order to close it off. For an archaeologist, the clean fill could falsely signal a dead-end in a unit.

Historical archaeological sites also require different dating methods than prehistoric sites. Historical sites require a more specialized method of dating which will typically result in a more precise date. Ceramic typology one of these dating methods, as the types of ceramics being used in different areas at different times have been well documented. However, these techniques are also not without their problems, as certain vessels may be passed down from one generation to the next, skewing the data. Again, Deetz sees this problem as an opportunity for researchers to force themselves into finding new solutions and explanations for errors in calculations. Pipe stems have offered a more reliable (but less widely usable) method for dating, as Lewis Binford developed a method for calculating a date based on the diameter of the pieces being found.

Chapter one ends with the declaration that prehistoric archaeology has often relied on an acceptance of the most logical explanation of events, assuming that humans acted in ways that put their environment to use in the most efficient ways possible. Deetz believes that historical archaeology has proven, with the addition of written materials, that logic and efficiency are relative terms. Ideas of common sense can change drastically from one year to the next, and those changes only multiply as the years get added on.

### Chapter 2: The Anglo-American Past

Chapter two begins by explaining that we can never know people of the past on a personal level, but that such specific knowledge is unnecessary when trying to understand life for all people on a broader level. Despite this, historical archaeologists are frequently drawn to sites that are associated with well-known figures.

Because there are so many historical sites available to archaeologists, it is important that researchers think through which sites should be excavated. It is also important that archaeologists approach an excavation with broader questions which allow the objects to speak for themselves, rather than forcing the objects to conform to a specific idea held by the researcher.

Deetz uses New England as an example of a culture's change being reflected in material remains. A change in style or architecture can reflect a change in tradition and way of life. This is an idea that archaeologists rely on frequently, as different cultures can produce different types of pottery, houses, or burial goods. Deetz has developed a "three-fold division of the cultural development of Anglo-America" which he believes is reflected in the material remains at the various sites at which he and his colleagues have excavated.

### Chapter 3: All the Earthenware Plain and Flowered

Chapter three opens by asserting that ceramics are some of the most helpful pieces for an archaeologist to find, whether they be prehistoric or historical archaeologists. He says, "pottery is fragile yet indestructible: while it breaks easily, the fragments are highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration". Deetz also claims that for this reason, pottery is likely broken soon after it was manufactured, making it easy to pin down a date for these pieces.

He discusses three different classes of ceramics which are known to have been present in Anglo-American historic sites: earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. After a description of these types, the chapter moves into an explanation of the various shifts that these pieces have taken, and how those shifts reflect the cultures producing these pieces.

One difficulty that comes along with ceramic analysis is that it is oftentimes difficult to envision the complete vessels, and the ways that they would have been used in their time. There is more to a ceramic piece than the category it is classified with, rather, each sherd should be seen as a part of a real person's daily life, holding meaning and significance. Ceramics were most often used in connection to a person's foodways. A change in material remains will often be connected to a change in a culture's practices. In this case, if an archaeologist is seeing significant differences in the pottery being used in an area, it may be reasonable to examine a possible shift in that group's foodways. Different social classes would have been eating different foods, and would therefore need different types of vessels to eat with. The type of pottery that a household chooses is often dependent on 4 factors: availability, need, function, and social status. It is important that an archaeologist recognizes these factors when examining an artifact, as there are multiple reasons why that piece would have been where it was, and individuals of the past should be seen as multifaceted beings who were capable of choice.

### Chapter 4: Remember me as You Pass By

Chapter four focuses on the mortuary remains of colonial Anglo-America, and what we can learn from a culture's burial practices. Mortuary practices provide archaeologists with a unique opportunity to see space, time, and form grouped together and carefully controlled. Because of this control, it is possible to keep two of these factors constant while examining change in the third. This has made it possible for certain prehistoric methods to be refined, such as seriation. Probate records make it easy to trace payments being made for gravestones, which is a valuable asset in this type of analysis.

Three basic designs were popular for New England gravestones: the winged death's head, the winged cherub, and the willow tree/urn. Variations in these designs would occasionally emerge in rural areas that existed in relative seclusion. The shift from one style to the next would oftentimes coincide with shifting religious views. Death's heads were connected to orthodox puritanism, the cherub emerged along with the Great Awakening, and the willow tree and urn styles often represented an individual who was not buried at that location, and tend to be separated from religion. These changes often paralleled changes in epitaph messages and headstone shapes, and they will often appear differently in different areas. Stylistic changes can also be traced from artist to artist, as different sellers were shown to have differing methods and signature styles.

There are, however, some drawbacks to this type of gravestone analysis. Because these patterns will emerge at different rates in different areas, it can sometimes be detrimental to rely on the generally used trajectory of stylistic change for analysis. It can also be difficult to find gravestones predating the 1660s, meaning that gravestone analysis is limited to periods following this time. Additionally, "religious institutions and their artifacts are known to be the most conservative aspects of culture, resisting change". In other words, religious iconography and the corresponding technology used to create it might not match all that was available at the time.

### Chapter 5: I Would Have the Howse Stronge in Timber

Chapter 5 takes an archaeological look at the house as a representation of human social structure. "The form of a house can be a strong reflection of the needs and minds of those who built it; in addition, it shapes and directs their behavior".

A distinction is made between vernacular and academic buildings, with each representing a different cluster within the broader culture group. Vernacular building does not require the use of plans, and is typically built by the individual who will be occupying the structure. Because of this, "changes in attitudes, values, and world view are likely to be reflected in changes in vernacular form". Alternately, academic architecture is typically created by architects who have been trained in their field, and reflects more general stylistic trends rather than the views of the individual occupying the building. Both of these types of structures can be examined in a manner similar to ceramics and mortuary remains, as building styles will change over time and can be reflective of the culture that is creating them. There are three types of evidence that are used when trying to understand architectural changes in Anglo-America. These types of evidence are original structures which are still standing, architectural remains of buildings, and documentary materials.

Like most pieces of archaeological evidence, these structures require care when being used in analysis. If a building is still standing, it is important to remember that the stronger structures are more likely to survive for longer periods of time. They are not necessarily indicative of the wider array of structures being built. Focus and visibility need to be considered when examining structural remains. Focus refers to how representative the features are of the structure that would have stood in the past, and visibility refers to the number of remnants that are visible, regardless of how decipherable they may be. Focus and visibility may be reduced for a variety of reasons. For example, the longer a structure has been occupied, the lower the focus and visibility will be, as a result of renovations and damage.

### Chapter 6: Small Things Remembered

The three varieties of artifacts discussed in previous chapters all have a special significance in archaeology that is usually not found in other types of artifacts. Ceramics relate directly to subsistence, a "universal human experience" and are common across most sites. Much of human existence occurs in houses, which are therefore an incredibly important part of understanding past lifeways. They also serve as important resources because structures are very durable in comparison to other material remains. Gravestones provide researchers with easily controlled studies which are also part of an incredibly personal and meaningful part of the human experience. All these types of artifacts suggest a changing worldview that occurred between 1760 and 1800 in Anglo-America. These changes have been attributed to a secularization of religion which went along with the scientific revolution occurring at the time. Changing religious institutions resulted in a breakdown of many peoples' understanding of the world, and many people sought out new ways to restore order in their lives. We are able to see these changes in the archaeological record, as people were accumulating new items to follow emerging trends in music and fashion.

### Chapter 7: Parting Ways

Chapter seven seeks to bring attention to the often diminished African American experience in colonial America. These individuals are not always well represented in the documentary record, so it can sometimes be more effective to piece together smaller community histories based on oral traditions, rather than trying to describe a whole group. Deetz does this through his work at the Parting Ways site which has been the focus of much of his research. He uses fragmentary written works along with archaeological evidence to piece together a picture of the tiny community, with an emphasis on a man named Cato Howe.

### Chapter 8: Small Things Forgotten

The final chapter concludes with a reminder that objects carry a special part of the past that can't be found in the written record. Although written accounts are incredibly valuable, they cannot stand alone as proof of the past. Literacy can be taken for granted by modern Americans, who tend to forget that literate individuals were in the minority for much of history. It is important that archaeologists recognize the major differences between people existing in the past and people existing in the present. Modern categories cannot be imposed on past peoples, and it is important to consider them in their own terms. In many cases, archaeological research can reveal more about modern minds than about the past people it is meant to represent. Objects "allow us to see into the past not through the writings of people who are communicating their particular view of the world, but through human actions that affected the material world in a broad and more general way". However, objects can also depend on the written record, and when the two are used well together, archaeology can be incredibly effective. It is important that small things not be forgotten, because "in the seemingly little and insignificant things that accumulate to create a lifetime, the essence of our existence is captured".

The Beginning...

Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City after ten years of globetrotting. Police commissioner Jim Gordon plans on retiring. Meanwhile, Oswald Cobblepot is about to be released from Blackgate after a decade, on the same day as the gala celebrating the opening of the new Wayne Tower. Mayor Aubrey James tells Gordon he cannot retire until after the gala.

For the last decade, Edward Nygma has been in Arkham and Jeremiah Valeska is seemingly brain dead. Two men smuggle Nygma out, while Ecco takes Jeremiah. While searching for Nygma, Harvey Bullock encounters a guard who hands him a phone. Harvey is shocked by who is on the phone and the guard kills himself. Bullock is framed for the murder, but confesses to actually doing it. Unconvinced, Gordon investigates. Nygma finds a box full of C-4 and thinks Cobblepot set him up with this stash. While investigating, Gordon encounters a new bat-themed vigilante who tells him he is not his enemy.

Cobblepot tries to kill Gordon for arresting him a decade earlier, but Gordon escapes. At the Wayne Tower gala, Selina Kyle (now a burglar, who has stolen a diamond) and Barbara Kean thwart Nygma's plot to blow up James and the tower itself, and Gordon arrives to realize that there is another bomb in the tower. Leslie Thompkins defuses the bomb, and Gordon realizes that Jeremiah set up Nygma and framed Bullock for the guard's murder.

Nygma and Cobblepot are captured by the vigilante, whom Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyworth know is Bruce. Jeremiah kidnaps Gordon and Barbara's daughter Barbara Lee after a scuffle that results in Ecco's death. Gordon reaches Ace Chemicals, where Jeremiah reveals he was faking brain death the whole time while awaiting Bruce's return. The disguised Bruce arrives and subdues Jeremiah, saving Gordon and Barbara Lee.

Gordon, who has decided against retiring, re-ignites the searchlight he put atop the Gotham City Police Department headquarters years earlier. Elsewhere, Bruce reconnects with Selina and apologizes for leaving her a decade earlier, then encourages her to return the stolen diamond, but she playfully refuses. Meanwhile, Cobblepot and Nygma escape from the police van and plan revenge on the vigilante, but decide to wait until the next day, as his presence intimidates them. Bullock, Alfred and Gordon notice Bruce watching them from afar. When Bullock asks who is watching them, Gordon replies, "A friend."

Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary

American artist Mary Gilmore's van breaks down during a thunderstorm in rural Mexico. She finds an abandoned house nearby, occupied by a vagrant named Ben. He offers to spend the night there with her, to which she agrees. In the house, Mary reminisces about murdering a United States Embassy employee she seduced the night before and drinking his blood. Federal Bureau of Investigation inspector Otis Cosgrove and Lieutenant Eduardo Pons begin investigating the murder, and subsequently uncover a series of similar crimes in which victims were drugged and drained of their blood.

Meanwhile in Mexico, Ben repairs Mary's van and the two spend the day at the beach. While Ben goes to buy fish, Mary drugs a middle-aged fisherman with coffee before stabbing him and drinking his blood. Back at Mary's home, she shows Ben a painting she completed of her father, whom she says died when she was young. That night in the morgue, a masked man breaks in to view the fisherman's body, stabbing a morgue employee to death before. Back at Mary's home, art dealers Greta and Arnold Jenson, view her artwork. After Mary's art show that night, Greta invites her to her home and attempts to seduce her. While she runs a bath for Mary, Mary drugs Greta's tequila. When Greta kisses her, Mary slashes her throat.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood

The game follows the werewolf Cahal, a member of the familial Fianna tribe of Irish werewolves, and works alongside his pack with the eco-terrorist group, Lambda Mankind, fighting against an oil subsidiary called Endron, whose president, Richard Wadkins, willingly serves the Wyrm to disrupt the balance of Gaia. In one of their missions, Cahal, along with his packmates, Cahal's brother-in-law Rodko, Ava and his wife Ludmilla, infiltrate an Endron facility. Their plan tampers with the data of their oil extraction and forces them to pull out of the region. During the raid, Ludmilla is killed by a werewolf in Wadkins' security, and Cahal soon accidentally kills another packmate, Rafiq, and blinds Rodko. In shame for what he has done, Cahal leaves the pack.

Five years later, Cahal works freelance. After a raid on an energy corp in Washington State, Cahal returns to his homeland in Tarker's Mill, along with his partner, Dusk. Cahal intends to atone for what he's done, and upon returning home, finds his former tribe is at war with Endron militia's, led by Major Graner. After fighting off an attack that injures Rodko, Cahal is sent to dismantle an Endron training center, before he reunites with his daughter Aedana, and Ava, who are operating to dismantle Endron from within. It is discovered that Endron has created a new substance called Earthblood, which is used to enhance and mutate their soldiers to the Wyrm's twisted image.

Later on, while a new raid is planned to expose Endron, Aedana is kidnapped by Watkins, and Rodko gives into his rage. Cahal is forced to kill Rodko when the two transform and fight. Watkins reveals he knew about the packs plans and plans to run experiments on Aedana. Cahal manages to kill Graner, driving Wyrm from his homeland in retaliation. Cahal plans to rescue Aedana by getting himself arrested, and infiltrating a prison in Nevada, where Erdron is conducting experiments on prisoners.

In Nevada, Cahal gathers information from a werewolf named Onawa, who was a test subject in Endron's experiments. He learns that Aedana was taken to Endron headquarters, and escapes prison with Onawa to regroup the latter's pack, which has also been warring with Endron. When Cahal infiltrates their facility, Watkins sets up a trap where he sets loose Earthblood gas across the area, causing environmental damage, killing and infecting people in the area. Onawa reveals she is working for Endron, in exchange for her pack's safety. Their guardian spirit has also been infected by Wyrm, but they are freed from its influence when Cahal bests them in battle.

Tracking Aedana down to an Endron oil rig, Cahal regroups with Ava and learns of Endron's plans to spread the Wyrm by releasing Earthblood as an alternative to oil. In the final siege, Cahal finds Aedana in a glass container, where she is heavily mutated by Watkin's experiments. Cahal is forced to fight and mercy kill his daughter, who dies in his arms. Cahal is presented with a choice to take revenge on Watkins' or save Ava and the activists from Endron's militia.

If Cahal chooses to confront Watkins, he corners the CEO, who mutates himself with Earthblood. Cahal manages to kill Watkins after a fight, but discovers that Ava and her team have been slaughtered. Cahal manages to destroy the facility with explosives, with Earthblood's release being postponed, and the activist group Cahal and Ava work for being denounced as terrorists by the media. If Cahal saves Ava, Wadkins' flees the rig, while Cahal and Ava bring down the facility. The media has a much better reception of the group, and Endron abandons its plans after discovering Wadkin's actions, forcing him into hiding. Regardless of the ending, Endron's leadership, Pentex, plans to look into Wadkins' research, implying their work will continue.

Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter

One evening, the Gaulish village is visited by two Arverni chieftains, Monolithix and Sidekix, who were lieutenants to Vercingetorix up to the fateful battle of Alesia and thus good acquaintances of Vitalstatistix. They have brought a teenage girl who is revealed to be Vercingetorix's daughter, Adrenalin, who carries her father's torc, a symbol of Gaulish resistance. Julius Caesar has learned of her existence and wants her taken captive and re-educated to Roman ways. The Arverni chieftains ask Vitalstatistix to keep Adrenalin safe until they can relocate her to Britain, where the Romans will not expect to find her.

Vitalstatistix agrees to protect the girl, assigning Asterix and Obelix as her minders. Rebellious and strong-willed, Adrenalin quickly wearies of the village's adults and befriends the younger generation, particularly Selfipix and Blinix, the eldest sons of Fulliautomatix and Unhygienix respectively. She decides to abscond from her role as a figurehead of war, and her new friends help her sneak out of the village.

A Gaulish traitor named Binjwatchflix has tracked down Adrenalin and put the surrounding Roman garrisons on alert. During the chaotic search between the Gauls, the Romans and Binjwatchflix for her, Adrenalin encounters two of the pirates collecting fresh water and, to Redbeard's consternation, attempts to commandeer their ship in order to sail to Thule to live her life in peace. Asterix and Obelix spot the pirate ship and take up pursuit, along with Selfipix, Blinix and Dogmatix. Additionally, Binjwatchflix has stowed away on the pirate ship. In a rapid sequence of events, the Gauls and pirates are forced to contend with Adrenalin's stubbornness and a Roman galley attacking them. Amid the fighting, Binjwatchflix grabs the girl and the torc and entrenches himself on the pirate ship's lookout post. Obelix rips out the mast, causing the ship to sink and dropping Binjwatchflix and Adrenalin into the sea. Upon climbing into the Gauls' boat, Binjwatchflix is bitten by Dogmatix, causing him to drop the torc into the sea. He then jumps overboard to swim to safety but is followed by a shark, leaving his fate in doubt.

Back in the village, Adrenalin defies Monolithix and Sidekix, wishing to be no part of their rebellion. The Arverni soon find that one of their warriors is wearing Vercingetorix's ceremonial helmet and make him the new figurehead of their resistance. After giving her blessing to Asterix's village as Vercingetorix's true successors, Adrenalin departs for Thule with a young shipmaster named Peacenix.

The Adventures of Rivella

The novel begins with a conventional exchange between with the fictive characters of Chevalier D'Aumont and Sir Charles Lovemore who are parlaying in conversation within the [https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/ Somerset-House Garden]. During this exchange Sir Charles Lovemore accentuates his personal interactions and affections for Rivella. For Janet Todd, Rivella was born plain between two beautiful sisters. Lovemore indicates to D'Aumont, and indirectly to Manley's readership that he is in love with Rivella, and depicts a woman that is witty, alluring, and sensual. However, later in the novel she descends into disgrace, as her writings are used against her during a public defamation and her subsequent imprisonment. Although she incurred this series of unfortunate circumstances, Rivella acquired a lifelong admirer being Sir Charles Lovemore who now is translating her story. After the death of her father, Rivella is easily persuaded into a bigamous marriage with an older nobleman, who becomes her guardian. The marriage substantiated into a violent and bigamous partnership, leaving Rivella as a fallen woman alone and without a protector. The narrative is made further complex when characters and their respective schemes are revealed, which continually allude to similar real-world incidents such as the deposition of James II (1688).

Following this, Lovemore narrates [http://www.pierre-marteau.com/editions/1714-rivella/rivella-text.html Rivella's part in a major lawsuit], where she defends her personal ethics nature against individuals who are identified as unethical. She is ultimately found innocent of the charges laid against her. In Rivella's recovery, she begins using her wit and reputation to write for the stage, which stood out as the clear outlet for expression at the time for the female writer. True to the semi-autobiographical nature of Manley's novel, this lawsuit mirrors an actual lawsuit the Delarivier Manley was subject to in her own life. Subsequently, the novel begins its conclusion with Rivella demonstrating a visible re-positioning of her political and ethical attitudes into more moderate connotations. This undoubtedly prepared Rivella, and by association Manley for the imitate shift in 18th century political power in England. The novel concludes with Sir Lovemore finishing his "[http://www.pierre-marteau.com/editions/1714-rivella/rivella-text.html History of Rivella]", and with D'Aumont and Lovemore setting off to find Rivella in the hope of becoming well acquainted with her and her intellectual brilliance.

Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple

6 years ago, the most violent struggle in Yokohama was "The Dragon Head Conflict", which involved many organizations and resulted in 88 deaths. The night before its conclusion, when Osamu Dazai was still in Port Mafia, he and Chūya Nakahara discovered a man named Tatsuhiko Shibusawa. In the present, the Armed Detective Agency is called upon to investigate the apparent suicide cases of hundreds of supernatural ability-users around the globe, which occurred when a mysterious fog passed over their countries. The Special Operations Division deduce that this incident is tied to Shibusawa, now a self-proclaimed "collector". The night before the Agency is to commence operations, Atsushi Nakajima has an unsettling dream of his past in an orphanage, where an out-of-place door painted with a white tiger is engulfed in fog. He is awakened by his roommate Kyōka Izumi, who also dreamed of fog. The two soon realise that Yokohama has been engulfed in the mysterious fog, and everyone but the various ability-users have disappeared from the city.

Kyōka and Atsushi meet with their superior Doppo Kunikida, who reveals that the deaths of ability-users were due to their abilities turning on them. Shibusawa is revealed to have created the fog to draw out Yokohama's gifted, turning their abilities into jewels for his collection while powering the fog. He has allied himself with Dazai and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Kyōka and Atsushi make contact with government agent Ango Sakaguchi, who had located the Agency's other ability-users, all of whom are fighting their own abilities. As Kunikida leaves to fight Doppo Poet, the duo encounter mafia member Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, who is fighting his ability, Rashōmon. While each of them duel their own abilities, Atsushi deduces that subduing the ability involves destroying an embedded jewel in them, and defeats his white tiger. Kyōka faces her fear of merging with Demon Snow to become a killing machine, and resolves to save people with her ability. Akutagawa is forced to think outside the box when combatting his ability. Atsushi is unable to use his ability, so Kyōka and Akutagawa decide to journey to Shibusawa's base alone.

Fyodor finds two jewels: one which can summon all gifted within sight, and another which can crystallise abilities after their users have died. Dazai, who was secretly working against Shibusawa, nullifies them, depriving the fog of its power source. However, having anticipated this, Shibusawa stabs Dazai with a poisoned knife, intending to steal his ability and transform Dazai into the core of the "dragon" – the chaos of all special abilities – to destroy Yokohama. As the dragon is summoned, it wreaks havoc. A gifted agency in London called Order of the Clock Tower dispatches a fire gifted to Yokohama in order to destroy the city with the dragon to prevent it from spreading. However, Ango contacts Chuya, who releases Corruption and successfully destroys the dragon and revives Dazai.

Fyodor slits Shibusawa's throat, allowing him to regain his lost memories, just as Atsushi looks within himself and resolves to open the white door within the fog. Atsushi remembers that when he was a child, he was tortured by Shibusawa to draw out his ability – the "tiger" and the antithesis of all special abilities. However, the torture backfired and Atsushi lost control of his ability from that point onwards, turning into a tiger and killing Shibusawa in the past. Despite this trauma, Atsushi accepts his actions and powers and recovers his tiger persona. Atsushi rushes to Shibusawa's base, his power having returned as the latter revives, stronger than ever, to battle Atsushi, Kyōka and Akutagawa. Together, these three permanently defeat Shibusawa. Fyodor remains in the shadows, stating he has yet to accomplish his objective.

Cheshire Crossing

### Overview

Wendy Darling, Dorothy Gale, and Alice Liddell are all teenagers who have been diagnosed with "dissociative psychosis" following their respective travels to other worlds. The three have been committed to various wards and sanitariums, including Dorothy receiving electroshock therapy. By 1910, the characters are teenagers and are no longer sweet or naive as in the original works. The three are all sent by their parents to Cheshire Crossing, an English boarding school and research facility where they are the only patients. Dr Rutherford, who leads the institution, genuinely believes the girls can travel between worlds and wants to help them with their powers, and has appointed a nanny to care for them who carries an umbrella and has some powers of her own. Alice uses Dorothy's slippers to travel to Oz; Wendy is taken along with her while trying to stop her.

Their adventures continue between Earth, Neverland, Wonderland, and Oz, dealing with the Wicked Witch of the West and Captain Hook, who team up both for villainy and love. Many other characters from the original works appear, including the Cheshire Cat, the Knave of Hearts, The Mad Hatter, Tinkerbell, munchkins, flying monkeys, and Peter Pan, who ages up during the story and obsesses over Alice.

### Detailed synopsis

There are some small changes between the various versions of the story. Most notably, the name of the nanny was changed from Mary Poppins to Ms. Gwendolyn Poole. The plot summary below describes the original version, with any changes marked with footnotes.

#### Issue 1

In 1904, Alice Liddell's parents discover her unconscious on the grounds their estate, after she was missing for six days. After having her see a doctor, they ponder aloud where she was for that time and what happened to her, as Alice sits silently in her bed.

Six years later, Alice is brought to the apparent mental institution "Cheshire Crossing" by Mary Poppins, where she meets Wendy Darling and is told to await a third girl. Alice finds the windows are locked while Wendy practices throwing knives. Both briefly discuss their diagnoses of "dissociative psychosis" (described in the comic as meaning "crazy by means of creating an imaginary world"), talking of "Neverland" and "Wonderland" and their histories in similar institutions, both seeing the other as mad. After the arrival of the third girl, the American Dorothy Gale, Poppins brings them before Dr. Ernest Rutherford, who reveals Cheshire Crossing is a research facility and that he knows all three girls are sane and capable of travelling to other worlds. He informs them that experiments will begin the following day, to Alice's dismay, who expresses her not wanting to be a lab rat. They are then sent to shared sleeping quarters by Poppins, who Rutherford says will be their nanny and tutor.

That night, Dorothy asks Alice and Wendy about Wonderland and Neverland, revealing she first travelled to Oz in a tornado, but now can go any time using a pair of ruby slippers and calling out "There's no place like Oz". After prompting, Alice reveals she can travel to Wonderland via any reflective surface, most commonly mirrors, while Wendy states Neverland is located at "the second star to the right". After Alice attempts to escape, thwarted by Poppins, Alice takes Dorothy's slippers while she is asleep and uses them to flee to Oz, inadvertently taking Wendy with her.

After waking in Oz, Alice's arrival is detected by the Wicked Witch of the West with her crystal ball. West is surprised to see the slippers on someone other than Dorothy and sends a squad of flying monkeys to retrieve them. Both West and Alice are shocked when, after the flying monkeys lift her up into the air, Wendy flies into the air and rescues Alice. Wendy and Alice land in the poppy field which puts Wendy to sleep, but Alice resists due to a high laudanum tolerance. Alice flees to Wonderland through a nearby pond, where she is greeted by the Cheshire Cat.

#### Issue 2

In a flashback, Dorothy is informed by Glinda the Good in Oz how to use the slippers to return to her home in Kansas, before she realizes Glinda could have told her earlier and had manipulated her into killing the Wicked Witch of the West for her. In the present, at Cheshire Crossing, Dorothy tells Poppins and Rutherford of Alice's actions. Rutherford says that Dorothy's "powers are inherent" and tells her to go to Oz. After saying "There's no place like Oz", Dorothy is transported to Oz with Poppins, who explains to her that rather than the slippers providing her the power to travel to Oz, she herself had provided the power to the shoes, having subconsciously brought herself and her house to Oz previously during the previous tornado. Dorothy and Poppins follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Munchkin Village, where Dorothy is surprised to learn from its mayor that the Wicked Witch of the West is alive again, having returned a few months prior, and has captured "a girl from afar". Dorothy is berated for "sheer carelessness" by Poppins upon revealing she had previously accidentally killed both the Wicked Witch of the West and her sister.

In Wonderland, Alice is greeted by Jack the Knave of Hearts and his playing card soldiers, who hail her as a hero for having previously stood up to the Queen of Hearts. Grateful for her having previously saved him at his trial, Jack introduces her to the rebel troupe she inspired (including the Hatter). Alice offers to bring Jack and his troupe to Oz in exchange for helping to find and save Wendy. In West's castle, a shackled Wendy attempts to escape before being knocked unconscious by West. West examines Wendy and finds she is a "conduit to another world". After consulting dark spirits about this world, West learns its name, Neverland, and that it has fairies. Now viewing the slippers as unimportant, West has Wendy brought to her casting chamber, and uses her to create a gate to Neverland.

Outside the castle, in the mountains of Oz, Dorothy and Poppins encounter Alice and Jack's troupe after being led to them by Glinda after Alice had re-entered Oz with Jack's troupe. After returning Dorothy's slippers, Alice uses a shrinking potion she acquired from Wonderland to sneak past the Winkies, West's personal guards, then grows again with a magic cake and opens the castle's door from the inside. After overcoming the guards, the troupe reaches the Witch's casting room as she opens a portal to Neverland. Upon seeing Dorothy, West attempts to disintegrate her, but Poppins protects her with her umbrella. As Poppins battles West, the Cheshire Cat frees Wendy and she saves Alice and Dorothy from King Nikko of the flying monkeys. Recognizing Poppins as a fellow witch, and citing the "strange rules" of Oz, West splashes Poppins with a bucket of water, melting her. Enraged, Dorothy punches West through the portal to Neverland, closing it behind her. Dorothy believes Poppins can be restored, given that West had returned from Dorothy previously melting her, and Alice gathers Poppins' remains into a bucket to return her to Rutherford. Meanwhile, in Neverland, West wakes on the pirate ship of Captain James Hook, and explains to him that she had designed the portal to bring her to "the most evil being in Neverland".

#### Issue 3

One month later, on his ship, Captain Hook and his crew have raided half the fairy villages of Neverland, and presents the fairies to the Wicked Witch of the West as Smee sends word of Peter's and "Tink" Tinker Bell's arrival to rescue them. West hits Peter with lightning, rendering him unconscious, while Tink flees, all according to Hook's plan.

At Cheshire Crossing, Rutherford and his assistant, Lem (unidentified, but probably Lemuel Gulliver) examine Poppins' remains to find that she is slowly reforming to her original configuration, but it would take her years to completely reform if left on her own. Meanwhile, while doing her hair, Dorothy finds she can now pass through mirrors like Alice. She tells Alice this who warns Dorothy not to do it again. Tink then crashes through the window and relays the circumstances of Peter's and the fairies' kidnapping to Wendy. After informing Alice and Dorothy of the situation, they agree to join her in rescuing them, and Tink provides the pair with fairy dust to allow them to fly like Wendy, powered by "happy thoughts". To fly, Dorothy thinks of her aunt, while Alice thinks of a man named Richard, which she is teased for. While flying to Neverland, Dorothy draws up a plan to rescue Peter, deciding that she will confront the Witch while Wendy distracts the pirates and Alice shrinks herself to rescue the fairies.

Upon arriving in Neverland and approaching Hook's ship, the trio put their plan into motion. While Hook and West are becoming romantically involved as he teaches her to how to pilot his ship, Wendy flies in above to distract them, while Dorothy throws a bucket of water at West from behind her, but it has no effect – witches are only weak to water in Oz. After Dorothy dodges West's lightning, West uses a spell to disable flight in the area, grounding both girls and Tink. After embarking in a duel with Hook, Wendy is stabbed in the gut and falls overboard. Elsewhere, a cornered Dorothy also throws the slippers overboard to keep them from West and tricks her into burning her own face, before being taken prisoner by Hook. Meanwhile Alice, having snuck into Hook's quarters, is unable to open the orb in which the fairies are imprisoned and hides in Wonderland through Hook's mirror before he and West enter. After they leave the room again, Alice returns and drags the unconscious Peter through the mirror into Wonderland. After waking Peter and explaining the situation, Alice decides they will require stronger magic to defeat West and ventures into the Tumtum Forest with Peter to retrieve the Vorpal Sword, while avoiding the Jabberwock.

Wendy is rescued by a mermaid, who delivers her and the slippers to the Neverland tribe of Tiger Lily, who knows Wendy as "Pan-Mother". After waking, Wendy is surprised that Tiger Lily has healed her, despite her wound having been a fatal one. After attempting to leave, Wendy feels woozy. Tiger Lily tells her that she needs a day of sleep to fully recover, and Wendy falls asleep again. The next day, Alice wakes in Wonderland to find Peter, having been eating the size-altering berries of Tumtum Forest, to have physically grown up. Peter now finds Alice pretty, and her chest "interesting", although he has no idea why. As Peter continues discussing his "weird feelings" with Alice, he remarks that he sees Wendy as his mother, as she had agreed to raise him and his friends.

Meanwhile, on Hook's ship, West punches Dorothy for having killed her sister, declaring that she will kill her over the course of several days. Hook, however, advises West not to do so given "beating prisoners is bad form", and so that she can serve as "alive and kicking" bait for a trap for Wendy and Alice. Hook and West announce that they will be invading the shores of Neverland once again to capture more fairies; subsequently, Dorothy calls out "There's no place like Oz.", taking not just her but all off Hook's ship to Oz. Hook's ship aground in the fields and Dorothy is knocked unconscious. While unconscious, Hook and West delight in Dorothy having fallen for their plan to get the ship to Oz, and West uses the power of the captured fairies to make the ship fly. Hook orders Smee to sail it to West's castle to reclaim it for her. Recognizing Hook as "evil and honorable", she hugs him, welcoming him to Oz. In Cheshire Crossing, Rutherford instantly causes Poppins' reconstitution using a teaspoon of table sugar as a catalyst.

#### Issue 4

In a flashback, Dorothy has saved Emerald City for the seventh time. To repay her, King Scarecrow and Tik-Tok (the two smartest people in Oz) agree to teach Dorothy to be smart and "view every problem from every angle". In the present, as West insists Hook not use his cannons against her castle in reclaiming it, Tink sneaks on board and unties Dorothy. Dorothy decides to remain and pretend to still be bound and gagged while Tink warns the castle of West's return with Hook. After preventing the Cheshire Cat from eating her, Tink warns Jack, who prepares his troops for battle. Elsewhere, Wendy, having returned to Oz after recovering and being informed of the situation by mermaids that had been surrounding Hook's ship, encounters a Munchkin by the hole where the ship landed, who expresses his intent to turn it into a farm on behalf of his new ruler, "Prince Jack", and directs Wendy in the direction as the ship, towards Castle West, who flies after it.

As Hook and West invade the castle, Dorothy sneaks away to. As Hook duels Jack, he stabs him in the chest and is surprised by him not dying; Jack explains that as he is a living playing card, poking holes in him won't kill him, disappointing Hook. Meanwhile, in Wonderland, Peter and Alice face the Red Bishop, keeper of the Vorpal Sword, who offers to give it to them if they can solve his riddle. While Alice attempts to solve the riddle, Peter instead punches the bishop and flees with the sword. As the pair subsequently fly towards the portal which Alice left open to Hook's ship and Peter remarks his new urges are making it "harder and harder to fly" due to him being unable to "think straight", Alice promises to help him see to his "physical needs" later on. Upon entering the portal and finding the fairies gone, Alice is surprised to find they are in Oz, and Peter immediately runs outside to attack West with the sword, who apprehends both him and Alice from a distance with giant fists made of magic. Elsewhere, Dorothy finds herself surrounded by two pirates, and is rescued by an arriving Wendy, who knocks them out and hands Dorothy a sword, who in turn requests her slippers back for a plan of her own.

At Cheshire Crossing, Poppins discovers the girls are gone, and ascertains their current location as Oz after consulting "the spirits of naughty children", proceeds there through a drawing of Castle West given to her by Dorothy (inferring they had already known each other prior to Alice's and Wendy's arrival). Landing on Hook's ship, Poppins informs West that she as "been very naughty and must be punished", and sets the spirits upon her, having promised them her soul, only for them to be quickly banished to "the light" by West. Recognizing that Poppins is much more powerful than her, West amplifies her power using the fairies and knocks Poppins off the ship in a wave of magical fire. After challenging Hook to a "duel-thingy, Dorothy cuts the ropes surrounding them, causing Hook to fall to his apparent death while Dorothy remains flying thanks to the slippers, having realized that the actual power of the slippers to be mimicry of the inherent powers of whoever wore them last, being Wendy's flight. Dorothy is complimented by the Cheshire Cat as she flies away. Elsewhere, while Poppins recovers in a crater, she encounters Tink, who provides her with a plan to face West. Returning to the ship and announcing "Say hello to my little friend!", Poppins amplifies her own power with Tink's to partially negate that of the fairies West is using, leaving the pair evenly matched. Alice awakens on the ship, and, picking up the Vorpal Sword, breaks open the orb containing the fairies, engulfing West in fire. Recognizing herself to be defeated, West flees by teleporting in a puff of smoke. Elsewhere, rather than taking Hook's crew prisoner, Jack offers to make them his officers and requests use of Hook's still-flying ship, employing Smee as captain, while the Hatter, finding Hook alive, steals his hat and has him hidden away in the castle dungeon.

Later that evening, Wendy hugs Poppins upon seeing her alive, while Alice and Peter each drink a glass wine as they prepare to "see to [Peter's] physical needs" as he had requested; Peter shrinks, as Alice has slipped him shrinking potion in the wine. She says that Peter is "blind to things that are obvious to any woman" and that she "know[s] a woman in love when [she] see[s] one", placing Peter before Tink. Peter remarks he never noticed how good she looked before; Peter and Tink subsequently kiss, while Alice walks away. After Wendy inquires as to Peter's whereabouts, Alice assures her that he is "busy" and "doesn't have a scratch on him. Yet", before leaving to confront Poppins after being told she is looking for her.

Meanwhile, in Wonderland, the Knave of Spades reports Alice's theft of the Vorpal Sword to the Queen of Hearts, and that her court wizard, the Ace of Clubs, has discovered from studying Alice from afar that her body generates a weakness between her world and Wonderland, and were they to enter the rabbit hole that served as her initial entry point to Wonderland, it would take them to her general vicinity. Consequently, the Queen orders the Knave of Spades and the Ace of Clubs to track down Alice and decapitate her.

Wonder Woman: Bloodlines

In 2013, Princess Diana of Themyscira - home island of the warrior race the Amazons - rescues US pilot Captain Steve Trevor from a Parademon attack. Diana treats Steve with a purple healing ray before he is taken prisoner by Diana's mother Queen Hippolyta due to Diana breaking the island's “no men” law. However, Diana breaks Steve out and sees an omen about an otherworldly invasion facilitated by his arrival. When Hippolyta demands Steve's re-incarceration, Diana defies her before leaving to protect man's world, prompting Hippolyta to disown her own daughter. Diana and Steve arrive in Washington, D.C. where Etta Candy takes them to geologist Julia Kapatelis. While there, Diana meets Julia's daughter Vanessa, who grows jealous of Diana when her mother spends more time with Diana than her. Diana decides to stay in man's world and protect it as the superheroine “Wonder Woman”. Five years later, Julia requests help from Diana and Steve to find Vanessa, who has stolen an artifact from her superior Veronica Cale and plans to trade it with the villainous Doctor Poison. Diana, Steve and Julia intervene but are confronted by Poison's soldiers and Giganta, who uses an enhancement serum, but is ultimately defeated. During the battle, however, Julia is fatally shot in a crossfire, and Poison escapes with the artifact. Vanessa blames Diana for her mother's death before fleeing.

While visiting her mother's grave, Vanessa is recruited by Doctor Poison and Doctor Cyber, who transform Vanessa into Silver Swan. Meanwhile, Diana and Steve locate Poison in Qurac. The two travel there using a stealth jet provided by Etta. Upon arrival, they are attacked by Silver Swan, who Diana realizes is Vanessa and is defeated while Poison escapes with a prototype bioweapon. Diana and Steve take the unconscious Vanessa to Cale Pharmaceuticals. While there, Diana believes the purple healing ray can reverse Vanessa's transformation, but does not remember the location of Themyscira due to a mystic block. Cale reveals to Princess Diana and Steve that Julia has been researching the island as a personal pet project. Diana finds a clue in Julia's former office that she must drink water from a fountain located at the temple of Pasiphaë to regain her knowledge of the location.

In the temple, Princess Diana and Steve are suddenly confronted by Cheetah, who is now part of a team of supervillains called Villainy Inc. led by Poison and Cyber, who also uses a serum similar to Giganta's. Steve and Etta enter the maze in the temple, where they encounter and defeat a Minotaur. Diana subdues Cheetah, reunites with Steve and Etta, and drinks the fountain's water, finally regaining her memory. Diana also realizes that the Minotaur was enchanted to defend the fountain, and destroys it. By doing so, the Minotaur is set free and is named "Ferdinand" by Steve.

The trio make it back to Cale Pharmaceuticals, where they pinpoint Themyscira's location. However, they are interrupted by Cyber, who reveals their organization's plan to steal the Amazon's technological artifacts for personal gain. Cyber reactivates Vanessa to attack Diana while the others escape. Eventually, Diana defeats Vanessa and manages to let her friends escape, while Vanessa flees. With the new information they have, Diana and Steve return to Themyscira, only to find it already under siege by Villainy Inc. Vanessa distracts the heroes as Cyber and Poison unleash their endgame weapon Medusa. Medusa refuses to be under their control and destroys Cyber's mechanical body. Poison offers Medusa an enhancement serum to win her favor, but Medusa turns her to stone and takes it anyway. Growing bigger and stronger, she starts destroying the city and killing Amazons. Confronting Medusa and getting badly beaten, Diana uses the gorgon's venom to blind herself, allowing her to meet Medusa head-on. Diana is battered to the ground but saved by Vanessa, who is inspired by Diana's self-sacrifice, and together they kill Medusa. In the aftermath, Vanessa and Queen Hippolyta reconcile with Princess Diana. Queen Hippolyta presents her daughter as the champion of Themyscira and decides to open Themyscira to the outside world.

In a mid-credits scene, Princess Diana returns to Washington where she confronts Cale. Cale reveals herself to be the true mastermind behind Villainy Inc. and the one who killed Julia. Cale claims she will invade Themyscira again to profit from the Amazons' technology, but Diana accepts her challenge as she is now the protector of Themyscira and impales her sword to her desk. Diana leaves confidently as a horrified and vengeful Cale vainly tries to remove the sword.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Gorr and his daughter, Love, struggle in a barren desert. Despite their prayers to their god, Rapu, Love dies. The god-killing Necrosword weapon calls to Gorr, leading him to Rapu's lush realm. After Rapu cruelly dismisses Gorr's plight, he renounces the god, causing Rapu to strangle him. The Necrosword offers itself to Gorr, who kills Rapu with it and vows to kill all gods. Gorr is granted the ability to manipulate shadows and produce monsters, but is cursed with impending death and corruption under the sword's influence.

After Gorr kills several gods, Thor, who has joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, learns of a distress signal from Sif. He parts ways with the team and finds an injured Sif, who warns that Gorr's next target is New Asgard. Meanwhile, Dr. Jane Foster, Thor's ex-girlfriend, has been diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer. With medical treatment proving ineffective, she travels to New Asgard hoping that Thor's hammer Mjolnir, which was previously fractured by Hela, might heal her. Due to an enchantment Thor unknowingly placed on it years earlier to protect Foster, Mjolnir reforges and bonds itself to her. Thor arrives in New Asgard just as Gorr's attack begins. Thor is surprised to find Foster wielding Mjolnir, but teams up with her, Valkyrie, and Korg to fight Gorr. The group thwarts Gorr, but he escapes, kidnapping several Asgardian children and imprisoning them in the Shadow Realm.

Having inherited the abilities of his deceased father Heimdall, his son Axl contacts Thor, who finds the children. The group travels to Omnipotence City to warn the other gods and ask for their help in creating an army. The leader of the gods, Zeus, fears Gorr and is unwilling to help, thinking they can remain safe and hidden from Gorr in the City. Zeus orders the group's capture to prevent them from exposing the City's location to Gorr. When Zeus injures Korg, Thor impales Zeus with his own thunderbolt which Valkyrie steals before they escape. As the journey continues, Thor and Foster rekindle their romantic relationship and Foster reveals her illness.

The group arrives at the Shadow Realm but are unable to locate the children. Foster deduces that the kidnappings were a trap for Gorr to take Thor's axe, Stormbreaker, in order to summon the Bifrost and enter the realm of Eternity, who can grant his wish to destroy all gods. Gorr overpowers the group, severely injuring Valkyrie. The group retreats back to Earth, though Gorr manages to steal Stormbreaker. Drained of her strength each time she uses Mjolnir, Foster is warned that using it once more will likely kill her. Thor persuades Foster to let him fight Gorr alone while she recuperates.

Thor finds the kidnapped children at Eternity's altar and, using Zeus's thunderbolt, imbues them with his power to fight Gorr's monsters while he battles Gorr. When Foster senses that Gorr is about to kill Thor, she joins the battle with Mjolnir to save him. They destroy the Necrosword, freeing Gorr from its influence, but the three are brought into Eternity's realm. With Gorr poised to make his wish, Thor implores Gorr to revive his daughter instead of destroying the gods. Thor then leaves Gorr to make his decision and attends to Foster, who succumbs to her illness and dies in his arms. Moved by their display, Gorr wishes for Eternity to revive Love, which it grants. As Gorr dies from the curse, he requests Thor to take care of Love.

In the aftermath, the children return to New Asgard, where Valkyrie and Sif begin training them, and a monument in honor of Foster is built. Thor adopts Love, who joins him in his heroics, with the former wielding Mjolnir and the latter wielding Stormbreaker. In a mid-credits scene, back in Omnipotence City, a recuperating Zeus sends his son Hercules to kill Thor. In a post-credits scene, Foster arrives at the gates of Valhalla, where Heimdall welcomes her.

Silver Wedding (novel)

The plot surrounds the planning for the upcoming 25th wedding anniversary celebration of Desmond and Deidre Doyle, natives of Ireland who have resided in London since their marriage. They have raised two girls and a boy, all of whom "have turned out to be disappointments". The burden of planning the party falls on Anna, the eldest, who works in a bookshop and is supporting an out-of-work actor.

The Little Things (2021 film)

One night in 1990, a girl drives on a highway, stalked by a motorist. After stopping at an abandoned gas station, she catches the attention of a passing truck driver and escapes her pursuer.

Some time later in Bakersfield, Kern County deputy sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon is sent to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to collect evidence pertaining to a recent murder. Deacon, a former L.A. Sheriff's detective, accompanies recently appointed lead detective Jimmy Baxter to the scene of a new murder in L.A. Deacon notices similarities between the M.O. of the killing and the M.O. of an old serial murder case he was unable to solve.

That night, a woman named Ronda Rathbun is followed by a car while jogging and is reported missing the following morning. Baxter learns from the precinct's captain Farris that Deacon got divorced and suffered a heart attack due to his obsession with the unsolved case. Baxter is advised not to involve Deacon any further, but Deacon takes vacation leave to assist in solving Baxter's case.

The next night, the police discover the body of another victim washed up beneath a bridge. Baxter learns the M.O. is consistent with that of the earlier murder and others: the victims were all sex workers who were stabbed to death. Deacon begins investigating Albert Sparma, a suspect working at a repair store in proximity to the murders. Deacon tails Sparma but is thwarted, so he takes Sparma in for questioning. While under interrogation, Sparma taunts the detectives and is released after provoking Deacon into an angry outburst. The young woman pursued in the desert is interviewed, but sees Sparma in handcuffs at the police station which effectively compromises her eligibility as an objective witness for identifying him as a suspect.

The FBI will take charge of the investigation within the week, giving Deacon and Baxter less time to resolve it. Farris informs Baxter that eight years prior, Sparma confessed to a murder which he couldn't possibly have committed and is thus an unlikely suspect. Sparma's fingerprint is similar to the killer's but not a definitive match. Baxter and Deacon go to Sparma's apartment and conduct an illegal search, but find nothing incriminating. As Deacon searches the apartment, his portable police scanner goes off and he narrowly escapes from Sparma's home after Sparma calls in an "officer down" report at that address. Police arrive and Deacon escapes while Baxter sees Sparma watching the ordeal.

While surveilling Sparma, Baxter corners the suspect alone and demands to know Rathbun's location. Sparma offers to drive him to where he supposedly hid Rathbun's body. Baxter cautiously agrees while Deacon secretly follows. Sparma takes Baxter to a remote area in the desert and has him dig several holes before telling Baxter that he never killed anyone. Skeptical, Baxter continues digging. Sparma begins to taunt him until Baxter snaps and strikes him in the face with the shovel, killing him. As Deacon arrives, a flashback reveals that he accidentally shot the one survivor of his last murder case and that Farris and Dunigan, the coroner, helped cover it up. Deacon instructs Baxter to bury Sparma in the desert. Deacon spends the night collecting everything in Sparma's apartment and disposing of his vehicle. Then he returns to the desert the following morning to find that Baxter has not buried Sparma but is instead still searching for the victim, desperate to believe Sparma is the killer. Deacon (whose waking dreams are haunted by the earlier victims) advises Baxter to forget about the case, or it will haunt him for life.

Later, at his home, Baxter receives an envelope sent by Deacon, containing a red barrette like the one Ronda Rathbun was wearing when she was abducted. Back in Kern County, Deacon burns everything he collected in the apartment, along with a brand new pack of barrettes that is missing the red one. The film ends as he walks away.

Doctor Neighbor

Dr. Joel Neighbor is a famous 42-year-old surgeon. He has built up vast medical knowledge through his years of practice and has dedicated his life to saving people. His ward, Hazel Rogers, is a beautiful 18-year-old heiress. She lives with her mother. Dr. Neighbor is the guardian of Hazel's fortune until she turns 21. In the event of her death, the doctor would become the heir to the estate.

Now that Hazel is coming of age, Dr. Neighbor asks her to become his wife. Hazel graciously declines his proposal. Hazel tells the doctor; she is in love with a district attorney named Hamilton Powers. Hazel has already promised to marry him. The doctor is against the marriage but accepts her reasons and bows out.

After Hazel marries Hamilton Powers, she realizes he is aloof and utterly committed to his law practice. Powers is respectful of Hazel but loves Hazel's close friend, a nurse named Christine Hall.

Powers asks Dr. Neighbor to transfer his trustee rights to Hazel's estate, but Dr. Neighbor refuses the request. After being rebuffed, Powers becomes even colder in his treatment of Hazel. After a few months of marriage, Powers leaves Hazel's magnificent home on Long Island to go to New York City. He claims he will have more opportunities to practice law in the big city.

Two guests arrive at Hazel's home to console her in her loneliness, Mrs. Preston and Morgan Keith. While the group is engaged in a friendly discussion, Powers shows up from New York City. Hazel and Hamilton have a bitter disagreement.

Hazel is distraught and goes for a drive in her car. While driving too fast, she has an accident that fractures her back and leaves her a helpless invalid. Dr. Neighbor attends to her, and Nurse Christine shows up to help care for her friend.

One night Hazel is in unbearable pain and cries out to Dr. Neighbor to put her out of her misery. Even though he still loves Hazel, the doctor must follow his oath. Christine, overwrought by her friend's agony and suffering, administers a fatal dose of morphine. After completing the deed, Christine forgets to dispose of the hypodermic needle and inadvertently leaves it on the table. Hazel will never awake. Dr. Neighbor enters the room, finds the needle, and puts it in his pocket.

Later, the authorities discover the needle that administered the fatal dose of morphine in the doctor's pocket. Since there is no love lost between Powers and Neighbor, Powers calls for an immediate inquiry. Hamilton points out that Hazel's death leaves Dr. Neighbor as the sole beneficiary of her fortune. The doctor keeps quiet during the entire criminal investigation. After they complete the inquiry, they charge Dr. Neighbor with murder. He must stand trial for homicide. During the trial, Christine becomes overwhelmed with remorse and confesses to the crime. After Christine's confession, they release Dr. Neighbor.

Hamilton Powers suffers from heart failure and needs a massive transfusion of blood to survive. Dr. Neighbor has the same blood type as Powers and donates his blood so that Powers may live.

Christine, freed from her prison term, pays a visit to Dr. Neighbor. She discovers him dead from exhaustion and loss of blood.

One of Us Is Lying

At Bayview High, Bronwyn, Simon, Nate, Cooper, and Addy attend detention with teacher Mr. Avery after he found mobile phones in each of their school bags, against the high school's no-phone policy. However, each of the students claims that the phones are not theirs and that someone played a prank on them. They hear a collision in the school parking lot, and Mr. Avery leaves to investigate. Simon—creator of the 'About That' gossip app in which the personal lives of students at Bayview High are posted for the rest of the school to see—begins a speech about the stereotypical personalities of the other four students and how he, through his app, is the omniscient narrator. He drinks water from a plastic cup and suffers a fatal allergic reaction due to his peanut allergy. The others attempt to help, but it is too late and Simon dies in the hospital.

Initially, the incident is considered an accident, but after a Tumblr post claiming that Simon's death was planned and the killer watched him die is shared, the police begin to investigate and find an unpublished post by Simon that features the secrets of the other four students. Each of the secrets would affect the student's future: Bronwyn's cheating on a test could impact her college applications; Nate's repeated misdemeanor could send him to jail; Addy's infidelity might end her relationship with Jake; and the accusation of steroid use could halt Cooper's potential baseball career. The four are initially suspicious of one another but begin to grow closer due to their shared situation.

The investigation receives media attention and the four are dubbed the 'Bayview four.' After Simon's funeral, his post is leaked and the rest of the school learns the four's secrets, triggering the consequences: Bronwyn's parents are disappointed, Nate's house is searched for drugs, Addy's relationship ends, and Cooper's performance is investigated. This prompts Maeve, Bronwyn's younger sister, to investigate Simon's online activity, which brings to light an encrypted original post about Cooper, and Simon's activity on massacre-worship forums, where he mentions a similar desire.

Addy befriends Janae, Simon's friend. Bronwyn and Nate return to the latter's home to avoid the media and find his mother, whom he claimed was dead, but whom had in fact suffered from bipolar disorder and drug addiction and subsequently moved to Oregon, leaving Nate and his father behind. She claims to now be sober and wishes to reconcile with her son and help. The encrypted file regarding Cooper is opened by the police, revealing that the steroid accusations are false and that Cooper is actually gay. This in turn outs him, causing a rift between Cooper and his father, who is homophobic. When Cooper is bullied verbally in the cafeteria after this news is leaked, Nate defends him, and the group sits together, demonstrating their new solidarity and friendship. Evidence is found tying Nate to the murder and he is arrested. Bronwyn contacts Eli Kleinfelter, a lawyer she saw on television defending the 'Bayview four' on the crime show 'Mikhail Powers Investigates', asking him to help.

Bronwyn believes the fender bender in the school parking lot that distracted the group was set up, so she asks Cooper to see if a friend of his can help find the red Camaro involved. When he does, Bronwyn confronts the driver, who admits he and a friend were paid to stage the accident by Simon. She suggests a meeting between the remaining three and allies to their plight: Maeve and Ashton, Addy's sister. Cooper's partner, Kris, suggests that Simon may have died by suicide and framed the others for his death, and that Janae may know more.

Janae hasn't been at school for a week and isn't responding to texts, so Addy goes to her home, where Janae confesses that Simon had been frustrated and angry for years that he wasn't more important in high school, and so he rigged the Junior prom to become King. Jake heard him bragging about the plan and Simon was afraid he would be exposed, so he told Jake about Addy's infidelity with TJ. Simon then enlisted Jake's help with his suicide plan, telling Jake he could get even by framing Addy as Simon's murderer. Janae was supposed to plant the evidence on Addy, but when she couldn't bring herself to do it, she planted it on Nate instead. Jake has been harassing Janae for ruining the plan, and he arrives while Addy is still there. Addy attempts to record the conversation, but her phone rings, drawing Jake's attention. Addy runs into the woods but Jake follows, trying to strangle her and hit her over the head with a rock. Addy is saved by Cooper, who had accompanied her to the house and saw Jake arrive.

Jake is taken into custody and Nate is released but is shaken from his time in the juvenile detention center, rejecting Bronwyn's concern and breaking off their relationship. Addy heals in the hospital and after, Ashton asks Addy to live with her, which Addy happily accepts. Cooper's college options begin to reappear and his relationship with his father starts to improve. Bronwyn applies to Yale and begins dating Evan Neiman, another student, though she does not consider it serious. She later finds Nate waiting for her after a major piano recital when he apologizes for dismissing her. The story ends as she accepts his offer to a movie as friends.

Holidate

Sloane Benson is a young woman living in Chicago who hates the holidays due to the judgement she receives from her family for being single. Having recently broken up with her boyfriend, her mother Elaine is constantly trying to set her up with a new man, much to Sloane's annoyance. Her younger brother, York gets engaged to his girlfriend of three months, Liz, and Sloane is now the only single person left in the family.

Meanwhile in Evanston, Illinois, Jackson is a young Australian golfer stuck spending the holidays with a woman he has no interest in pursuing a serious relationship with and her family. Later in the night, his date becomes angry with him for not getting her a Christmas present, and he leaves in frustration.

After Christmas, the two have a chance encounter when both are returning presents they received. After Sloane tells him about her Aunt Susan who brings a new date for every holiday gathering, which she dubs as a "holidate", Jackson suggests they be each other's so he can avoid attachments and Sloane can avoid pity from her family. Though initially reluctant, she decides to take Jackson up on his offer and the two spend New Year's Eve together. Jackson suggests they'll see each other on Valentine's Day but Sloane declines, believing that the two could find genuine dates by then. However, on Valentine's Day, Sloane runs into her ex-boyfriend with his new girlfriend while shopping and Jackson, who happens to be walking by, pretends to be her boyfriend and they leave together. They both agree it is safer to be each other's holidates from now on to avoid any further trouble, and agreeing to stay platonic.

After spending Saint Patrick's Day and Easter together with Sloane's family, the two gradually become genuine friends. On Cinco de Mayo, they end up getting drunk and presumably have sex, though they wake up the next morning with no memory of what happened. While Jackson does not seem to care whether or not they did, Sloane vehemently denies it. They go about their lives, pretending nothing happened. Sloane brings Jackson with her to a lunch with her mother for Mother's Day and when her mother hints at the possibility of the two of them developing into an actual couple they humour her.

By the Fourth of July, Jackson has become quite close with Sloane's family and is good friends with her brother York. While setting off firecrackers, Jackson blows part of his finger off and Sloane is forced to drive him to the hospital to have it reattached. They get high at the hospital and run into Farooq, a doctor Sloane's mother tried to set her up with. She flirts with Farooq and Jackson becomes visibly jealous. They return to Jackson's place where they end up touching hands and experience a moment of attraction to one another. Jackson becomes fearful when he and Sloane will become too serious and decides to find a new holidate at the suggestion of his friend, Neil. Sloane talks about the moment with her sister Abby and she advises her to call him and go with him to York's wedding. Jackson suggests they bring separate dates to the wedding and Sloane reluctantly agrees. While she brings Farooq as her date to her brother's wedding, he attends the wedding with her aunt Susan. However, their dates end up becoming attracted to one another while at the wedding, and the two decide to resume being holidates for Halloween.

While at a Halloween costume party together, Abby kisses Jackson's friend Neil even though she's married. Sloane and Jackson also run into her ex-boyfriend and his very pregnant girlfriend. Sloane becomes very upset and is given a drink with what she thinks are antacids by her sister, which makes her sick and forces her to leave. Jackson takes her back to her place and takes care of her until they end up falling asleep and having sex the morning after. Sloane is clearly nervous by the whole thing, believing they made a mistake. Sloane's sister arrives freaking out about kissing Neil and Sloane uses it as an excuse to shove Jackson out, much to his annoyance.

When Thanksgiving comes Jackson shows up and he and Sloane go to Sprouts to buy items for dinner. While there, he tries to talk about what happened but Sloane does not want to discuss it. She reminds him when they first met, he told her he was not attracted to her, and she still believes he is not. He tells her he lied when he said it in order to get her to say yes to his holidate offer, but she still refuses to accept his apology. Jackson leaves angrily. Later in the day, Wally suffers a heart attack. Aunt Susan takes him to the hospital with Sloane and runs into Farooq again. After Sloane encourages her to try to find real love again, Susan confesses to Farooq she has feelings for him, and the two kiss and become a couple.

In the days leading to Christmas, Sloane visits Jackson's place but she is still reluctant to speak to him. When shopping at the mall with her sister, sister-in-law, and nieces, they notice him walking by and her family encourages Sloane to go after him. The mall choir helps her out in getting his attention and hands her a microphone. In front of hundreds of people, she confesses her love for Jackson and the two embrace. The end credits reveal that all of the couples are still together, Wally and Sloane’s mother start dating, as do Neil and Carly (Jackson's date from the beginning of the film).

Mainstream (film)

Frankie is a young filmmaker living in West Hollywood. Having dropped out of school to pursue her dreams of making art, she is working a thankless job bartending with her friend Jake and has no clear vision of her goals other than creating a struggling YouTube channel. One day she encounters Link, an eccentric young man working as a costumed mascot in a mall. When Frankie claims to have been filming a painting behind Link and not Link himself, Link grabs the painting and performs a rambling but passionate monologue urging passersby to pay attention to the art. Frankie records the monologue and uploads it where it quickly becomes her most popular video. Frankie later re-encounters Link by chance and befriends him. The often-manic Link claims that his parents are dead and that he is firmly anti-establishment and anti-social media.

Frankie asks Link to appear in more of her videos; he agrees, as long as she quits her dead end job. She convinces Jake to join them as a writer. Together, the team makes a video called "No One Special" starring Link as a satire of a stereotypical loud, offensive, narcissistic social media influencer. The trio garner attention from a social media manager who persuades them that there is real money to be made from in-video product endorsements. Meanwhile, at a late-night party hosted at a graveyard, Jake privately witnesses Link arguing with someone who claims to be his brother, but does not bring it up to Frankie. Frankie and Link begin a romantic relationship and she opens up about the death of her father and her troubled relationship with her mother.

Frankie, Jake and Link launch a show called ''Your Phone or Your Dignity'' in which Link as "No One Special" takes contestants' smart phones and offers to give them a dumb phone or to return their own phone if they undergo a humiliating task. After initial success, the trio falls victim to infighting when they begin to lose views.

The tension comes to a head when Link humiliates a young woman, Isabelle, on the show by revealing that she edits a facial birthmark out of her selfies; under his pressure, she agrees to release her unedited photos for the game show prize but breaks down in tears, for which he aggressively admonishes her. Upset at what the show has become, Jake quits. Link is then invited to be on a roundtable with several other internet celebrities hosted by Ted Wick, but when he is accused by Ted of hypocrisy and confronted with the unedited footage of Link's humiliation of Isabelle, Link rants against the other participants, claims Isabelle tried to seduce him, and is thrown out for pretending to defecate onstage.

Disillusioned, Frankie visits Jake at their old workplace and tries to bring him back into the fold, but Jake refuses and reveals he has done research on Link and found out that he is a liar: he is actually a son of rich parents (who are both alive) and that he is dangerous and unstable, having once been institutionalized for burning down his school. When Jake confesses that he is in love with Frankie, she leaves and returns home in a daze. Link arrives and announces that YouTube has invited him to head a livestream event, and that he wants to do it with her, and she accepts.

While setting up for the livestream, Frankie learns that Isabelle died by suicide due to the humiliation of her appearance and Link's accusations. When Link is more concerned about his public image than her death, Frankie reveals she knows the truth about him and storms out. During the livestream, which includes a memorial for Isabelle, Link gives his condolences but then veers off-script into a manic, vulgar monologue, refusing to accept blame for her death and instead ranting against the toxicity of social media and its oppressive hold over its audience. In an attempt to go even further, Link reveals his name is actually Alex Goodrich and invites the audience to support them only if they're willing to rebel against the mainstream. As he departs the stage, the gathered crowd applauds and starts chanting his name as he turns and smiles at the camera. Frankie and Jake later reconcile at Isabelle's memorial.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan

''Man of Medan'' is presented as an unfinished story in the possession of the omnipresent Curator (Pip Torrens), who requests the player's assistance in completing it.

A prologue, set after World War II, details an American warship in Manchuria being overrun by ghostly apparitions, causing the death of the crew.

In the present day, brothers Alex (Kareem Alleyne) and Brad (Chris Sandiford) are preparing for a diving expedition into the South Pacific Ocean alongside Alex's girlfriend, Julia (Arielle Palik), Julia's brother, Conrad (Shawn Ashmore), and the ship's skipper, Fliss (Ayisha Issa). Alex and Julia seek out to find a World War II wreck plane rumoured to have crashed. Meanwhile, a group of fishermen crash into Fliss' boat, the ''Duke of Milan''. After the expedition group celebrate, the fishermen, led by Olson (Kwasi Songui), ambush the boat and take the protagonists hostage; Brad may optionally remain in hiding. Conrad attempts to steal the fishermen's speedboat, which he can either successfully do so and flee, remain captured, or be killed in the attempt. Olson discovers the coordinates of a seemingly hidden treasure named Manchurian Gold and seeks out to find it with the ''Duke'' crew in his captivity.

The Duke crashes into the SS ''Ourang Medan'', the freighter featured in the prologue, which the fishermen board, taking the ''Duke of Milan'''s distributor cap to prevent the crew from fleeing. The protagonists immediately plan to regain the distributor cap and escape. The group is split after Fliss is recaptured and Brad is either too captured or leaves the ''Duke'' and re-joins her, while the others secretly follow. Both groups begin to witness unknown threats, optionally resulting in deaths: Fliss searches the ship's lower deck, potentially alongside Brad, and locates the Manchurian Gold, a leaking chemical substance; Conrad, if he remained captured, pursues Fliss and is pursued in turn by a female nurse; and Alex and Julia are attacked by Olson and a hallucinogenic version of Alex.

The surviving protagonists regroup and head towards the radio room to request extraction. They contact the military, optionally revealing their co-ordinates and the ship name. The group then again splits, with one team heading further into the generator room and the other remaining with the radio. The team heading to the engine room successfully reactivate the power and surmise that Manchurian Gold was actually a hallucinogenic bioweapon developed during World War II to induce hallucinations on victims.

As Olson pursues, one of the protagonists at the radio decides to investigate after hearing a gunshot. If Alex stayed behind, he goes down with whomever is with him and finds Olson dead before being attacked by rats and optionally destroying the distributor cap and/or dying. If Alex did not stay in the radio room, only one protagonist will investigate. This protagonist is forced into a fight with Olson, with the distributor cap either being recovered or destroyed in the onslaught. If at least one of the generator protagonists survived, they emerge and send a cargo door crashing down on Olson to kill him, with the other protagonist either escaping or being crushed also. Otherwise, Olson kills the radio protagonist before succumbing to a heart attack.

The surviving group members reunite on the outer deck of the ship, with the overall outcome depending on the fate of the group via player choice, whether the ''Duke of Milan'''s distributor cap was saved or destroyed, and whether the military was called for assistance alongside whether the ship name was disclosed.

Sean’s simple lifestyle is centered on experimenting with various chemicals and substances according to an old alchemy book, with seemingly no success, though there are mysterious sounds from the forest. Sean runs out of the pills he regularly takes. He becomes increasingly nervous about being watched and locks himself in the caravan with an axe. He receives a visitor, but it is only his friend Cortez, who has come to deliver supplies. The resupply of Sean’s pills cannot be found; Cortez refuses to make another three hour round trip to retrieve them from his home.

Without his pills Sean’s mental stability deteriorates and he grows increasingly paranoid and frightened of his surroundings. After unsuccessful experiments with a dead mouse, he sets animal traps in the forest. He goes out onto the lake on his rowboat, where he proclaims that he intends to summon a demon that night, which he will give whatever it wants, including his body and teeth. Sean’s trap catches a possum, which he takes home and feeds. That night, he makes a fire and calls out to "Belial", saying he repents his human form, and reads Latin from his book of alchemy. Upon hearing loud bellowing sounds from the forest, he rushes back inside. He lights dozens of candles and continues reading from his book. The possum makes strange sounds before Sean kills it with a knife.

Cortez arrives and is shocked at the dead possum and the state of the cabin. However, he is on the run and intends to stay with Sean for a time. Sean is agitated by this and tells him to leave, threatening Cortez with his knife. Cortez leaves, feeling betrayed. Later Sean finds Cortez’s car in the forest, destroyed, Cortez's cross necklace, and a tooth embedded in a tree carved with the words "PAY UP." That night, Sean is burning is papers on alchemy when Cortez stumbles over, covered in blood and eyes glowing. Switching between awareness and fear of his situation to speaking in a deep, warped voice, he tells Sean of the devil in the forest which feels owed all that Sean owns.

The next day Sean finds Cortez’s dead body and buries him. Later, in his cabin, Sean extracts his own teeth with pliers. That night he calls out to the demon, telling it he has his tooth. A loud bellowing answers; later, Sean sits in his cabin covered in blood. Crying, shaking, and seemingly insane, he smashes his head into a mirror until it shatters, drinks chemicals from test tubes, and eats the raw organs of the dead possum. He realises that his cat is missing and goes out to search for it. Calling for Kaspar, his voice begins to sound like the howls of the demon.

Sean takes his bag and a large rock and submerges himself in the lake. A little later he emerges from the water and, initially ecstatic, exclaims that he has defeated the demon. His triumph is short lived, as he hears the whimper of his cat and the howl of the demon in the forest.

Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

On New Year's Eve, 1963, an unnamed screenwriter works with his female stenographer in an empty New York office in order to finish his ambitious screenwriting project (the text he is writing is the same as ''Norma Jeane Baker of Troy,'' which was published by Oberon Books) based on Euripides' ''Helen.'' This version differs from the more popular story of Helen of Troy as Euripides' states that Helen never sailed to Troy with Paris, but was instead transported to Egypt by the gods while Paris brought a phantom Helen with him to Troy. In the play, the phantom is described as a cloud, and the cloud motif continues throughout. The screenwriter interrupts his own dictation frequently, distracted by the recent death of a similarly tragic and gorgeous woman, Marilyn Monroe. He begins to share biographical facts about Monroe and offers his own reflections about her life, and, while doing so, begins to change out of his work clothing and into a Marilyn Monroe costume that resembles her white dress in ''The Seven Year Itch''. The screenwriter presents Monroe as a parallel to Euripide's Helen, bringing in other parallel characters from Monroe's own life, like Truman Capote, Fritz Lang, Pearl Bailey, and "Arthur, King of Sparta and New York," an amalgamation of Helen's husband Menelaus and Monroe's third husband Arthur Miller.

Lux Æterna (film)

The film is preceded in screenings by ''The Art of Filmmaking'', a 15 minute montage of Cecil B. DeMille films narrated over with a hypnotic suggestion to relax alongside droning orchestration. The montage strobes through red, green and blue colorgrades of itself in rapid succession. The final clip, showing the crucifixion scene from ''The King of Kings'', strobes in black and white.

''Lux Æterna'' begins with a short montage of 1920's style documentary footage of witch torture, which abruptly cuts to actresses Charlotte Gainsbourg and Béatrice Dalle playing fictional versions of themselves. About to shoot a film, ''God's Craft'', about witches burnt at the stake, the two actresses sit down in one of the sets and discuss the cinematic depiction of witches, the way women are treated on film sets, and anecdotes from their own film shoots.

The women are joined by a producer and assistant, who escort Gainsbourg to her dressing room while Dalle leaves to conduct directorial duties. In split screen, Gainsbourg and her co-stars are seen getting make-up and costuming done while a myriad of complications occur behind the scenes. Of the two other actresses playing witches burnt at the stake, one only speaks English and is upset when her outfit is shown to reveal her breasts. Dalle, upset with the entire production team waiting for five hours to shoot one scene, argues with the director of photography to get the actors some rehearsal time while they wait.

The director of photography, who has been promised the role of director after Dalle is fired, refuses to do anything that she asks while the producers spend their time spying on Dalle to catch any slip-ups they can report to get her fired. A behind-the-scenes cameraman is also seen capturing unflattering moments of the production crew while friends of the crew appear on set and try to make conversation with Gainsbourg and the other actresses. Throughout the entirety of ''Lux Æterna'', quotations from filmmakers Luis Buñuel, Carl Theodor Dreyer and Rainer Werner Fassbinder on a director's desire for absolute control are shown on screen.

The production continues to break down once the filming of the witch-burning scene begins. The director of photography increasingly demands that the camera run for longer and that the actresses never budge. Midway through shooting, the rear projection screen malfunctions and begins to show the same red, green and blue strobing from ''The Art of Filmmaking'', this time as solid colours. Music playback also malfunctions, instead playing an extremely loud droning sound. While Dalle frantically tries to get the projectionist and sound mixers to fix the problem, the director of photography insists that he is still filming and barks orders at his crew, namely at Gainsbourg to continue acting as if she is on fire and to weep for him.

The other actresses are able to break free of their bonds and leave Gainsbourg, who is unable to break her bonds, on set alone. Dalle breaks down and laments why no-one else is there to help as only she, Gainsbourg and the director of photography remain. Gainsbourg's silhouette dissolves into the strobing colours and the pole she was tied to transforms into a Christian cross. After the credits, one final Buñuel quotation appears: "Thank God I'm an Atheist."

Woo-Hoo Dunnit?

A documentary crime series, ''Dateline: Springfield'', is interviewing the Simpson family after Marge and Lisa, returning home, find that Lisa's college fund of $670.42, hidden in a can of kitchen cleanser under the sink, is missing. The police are called and Chief Wiggum and Lou investigate, but when the narrator says that the suspicion turned toward the Simpson family, Marge gets angry at the accusations.

A call to the police made by Helen Lovejoy brings Marge to the top of the list of suspects, accusing her of using the money for her gambling problem, though surveillance cameras shows that even though she went to the casino, she resisted the temptation and walked out. The next person on the suspect list is Homer, due to his tab at Moe's Tavern being cut off. The police speculate that when Homer got drunk, he stumbled home, fell on and ate some spaghetti leftovers, and then upon stumbling on the cleanser cup with the money, used the cleanser to clean the kitchen and used the money to pay the tab. The police find out that Homer has an alibi: he had made a six-hour call that night to Disco Stu.

The next suspect is Bart, who is accused by Milhouse of buying slime with the money. Bart knew of the money under the sink but always paid back what he borrowed. He is then seen as the mastermind behind the production of green slime (à la ''Breaking Bad'' , at Springfield Elementary. But when the market price fell, he sold his remaining inventory of the slime to Comic Book Guy and put the money back in the can, filming this in case the police would not believe him.

The final suspect of the family is Lisa, who is accused by Martin because she wanted a new saxophone. They go to King Toot's Music Store and he shows a tape of Lisa trying out a new bari sax for over 14 hours, but she did not buy it, Krusty the Clown buying it before she got the chance. Lisa's alibi is that Marge took her to a hopscotch tutor, much to Lisa's embarrassment. With all suspects gone, Homer and Marge kick ''Dateline: Springfield'' out and force the crew to apologize for their inconvenience, leaving the mystery unsolved.

Marge and Homer are seen watching the documentary, and Marge places a snap-on coaster she invented under Homer's drink. When she casually mentions that she wants to start a business with the coasters, which cost $0.65 apiece to make, Homer realizes that Marge was the culprit, stealing the money to invest in the business and having denied it the entire time. Homer calls the kids downstairs, preparing to tell them the truth, but when Marge compares Homer's visits to Moe's to life adventures and admits she wants something similar for her business, he has a change of heart, covers for Marge and lies to the kids, saying that the rats ate the money thanks to Grampa leaving the cabinet open, and then goes to the beach and enjoys a stroll with Marge.

Meanwhile, at the studio, the narrator loses his voice after arguing about the unresolved end of the show, and gets a vocal cord transplant from a sheep.

Those who attempt to escape are killed and their bodies burned in a crematorium. After a failed escape attempt, a black man named Eli watches as his wife is murdered and her body placed in the crematorium. A woman who had been assisting them is later brutally beaten and branded by the general until she submits to being called Eden.

A group of new slaves are brought to the plantation. Among them is a pregnant woman whom the general's daughter Elizabeth names Julia and places in the care of Eden. Julia asks Eden to plan an escape while Eden urges her to keep her head down. That evening during a dinner where Julia and Eden are forced to wait on soldiers in the army, a shy Confederate soldier named Daniel is attracted to Julia and arranges to go to her cabin later. When Julia tries to play on his kindness and asks him to help her, he gets angry and tells her that he is still a Confederate. He beats her for speaking when not spoken to, causing her to miscarry.

After being raped by the general in her cabin, Eden hears a ringing cell phone. In the modern era, a cell phone rings, awakening Eden, who is actually a renowned sociologist named Dr. Veronica Henley. She is preparing to take a trip to speak and promote her book, which is particularly hard for her because she has to leave her husband Nick and her daughter Kennedi. She has a bizarre online meeting with Elizabeth which leaves her uncomfortable, but she dismisses her feelings and cuts the meeting short.

While in Louisiana on her book tour, she meets acquaintances Dawn and Sarah and agrees to go to dinner with them to a local restaurant. In the meantime, Elizabeth sneaks into her hotel room and steals her lipstick. Intending to go back home early in the morning, Veronica leaves the restaurant in what she believes is her Uber ride but is actually a car driven by Elizabeth. Elizabeth's husband Jasper knocks Veronica out.

At the plantation, Veronica discovers that Julia has hanged herself. Enraged, she tells Eli that they will escape that night. After being raped by the general again the following evening, she once again sneaks out of her cabin and steals the general's phone. Before she can call for help, she is interrupted by an intoxicated Daniel and another soldier who find the phone, but are not suspicious believing it dropped out of the general's bag.

When he is alone, Eli kills Daniel with a hatchet and retrieves the cellphone. As the phone can only be unlocked with facial recognition, Veronica goes back to the cabin to find the general and is surprised to find he is awake. The general attacks both of them and Eli is subsequently killed trying to protect Veronica. She stabs the general with his own bayonet and unlocks the phone, then uses GPS to send her location to her husband. Intending to hide the general in the crematorium, she is interrupted by Jasper. Veronica lures him and another soldier into the crematorium and sets fire to it, leaving the three men to burn to death as she steals the general's horse and rides off.

Elizabeth and another soldier pursue Veronica on horseback and reveals that she handpicked every slave on the plantation except for Veronica, whom she kidnapped at her father's insistence. Veronica knocks Elizabeth off her horse and puts a rope around her neck, dragging her until she hits the base of a Robert E. Lee statue, thereby breaking her neck.

Veronica flees the pursuing soldiers into the chaos of a battle, revealing that the so-called plantation is actually part of a Civil War reenactment park called Antebellum, owned by Senator Blake Denton, who is posing as the general. Denton and his comrades intended to use the park to recreate an environment to bring back the slavery days using African victims. Veronica finally escapes as the police arrive.

That evening Molly receives a phone call from the detox center seemingly stating that due to issues with her insurance, she cannot get the shot until Monday, adding an additional three days to her wait and thus the fight against her urges. A suspicious Deb questions the call, they argue, and Molly leaves with Sean.

The additional days become excruciating for Deb as she attempts to contact Molly incessantly to no avail. On Monday morning, Molly arrives at the house urging Deb to get ready so they will not miss her appointment at the detox facility. However, before they leave Molly asks Deb for her urine, confirming Deb's suspicions. Molly further admits that she has relapsed. Despite this, she is adamant that she does wish to get sober, and Deb provides her urine. At the center Molly receives the opioid antagonist shot, but due to her having drugs in her system, she goes into acute withdrawal, and they rush to the hospital.

Four months later, Molly is still living with Deb, visits her children regularly, is getting ready for her next shot, and is on her way to recovery. The film ends with a line about the real life mother and daughter inspirations for the film, Amanda Wendler (Molly) and Libby Alexander (Deb).

Frost in May

The novel opens as its 9-year-old protagonist, Fernanda 'Nanda' Grey, is on her way to the Roman Catholic Convent of the Five Wounds outside London, where she will live and get her schooling until she is forced out at the age of 13. Although her mother dislikes the school's hermetic culture, Nanda is initially more influenced by her father, a recent convert to Catholicism. Told solely from Nanda's point of view, the novel unspools in part through Nanda's inner reflections as she attempts to come to terms with the requirements of daily life at the convent. During the course of the story, Nanda begins to write her first novel. When the nuns eventually discover this manuscript they are horrified by it, and ''Frost in May'' ends with Nanda leaving the convent.

In ''Frost in May'', White explores the attractions of a romanticized Catholicism for a young girl while condemning the school's absolutist and punitive culture. At the convent school, everything the girls do is heavily controlled, from their censored letters home to the way they are expected to fold their clothes. A major theme of the novel is the many ways in which patriarchal authority is exercised: by Nanda's father, by the convent's priest, and by the nuns themselves. Through specific episodes of Nanda's life, White explores the "petty cruelty, and ... the institutionalised power of symbols and community pressure." Much of the tension in this coming-of-age story stems from Fernanda's increasing discontent as she grows away from the values, beliefs, and practices of the convent school world.

$50,000 Reward

The film is about Tex Sherwood, a man who has just acquired a piece of land. There is a plot twist when he finds out that this land is soon to be irrigated by a dam. Asa Holman, the banker, knows that the ownership of property deed must be registered the next day, but does not let Tex know. Instead, he offers a $50,000 reward for his capture.

The film is set in western Montana in the 1920s during a time when men rode horses as a means of transport. The film begins with a screen that says, "In Montana, things often happen with a surprising suddenness." This is followed by a black screen with the words, "Help!" appearing multiple times. What appears to be a brawl including guns is unfolding across the street where a business owner notices and calls for help. Then, we see a black screen that says, "Get him boys, don't let him get away." Then there is some more brawling, followed by a black screen that says, "I've got what you're after, try and get it." Some more brawling, followed by a screen that says, "50,000 reward to the man who gets him." The men start running after Tex Sherwood as it appears, and he runs away on his horse. The group of men all hop on their horses and follow Ken until they see he has gone up a hill with his horse and the rest of them can't seem to get up there. A black screen then appears and it says, "Tex Sherwood cowpuncher from the Rio Grande, the cause of all the excitement, who has come to Montana to transact some business of a personal nature," Then, we see a black screen that says, "Buck Scofield, the leader of a lawless outfit," and "Tarzan, Tex Sherwood's pal, by himself." Here, we can tell that Tarzan is Ted Sherwood's horse. Then we see Ted and a black screen that says, "We fooled 'em boy, didn't we?" Tarzan nods, and Sherwood rides him down onto the other side of the hill.

The scenes change, and we are now in an office. A black screen says, "Asa Holman, president of the bank, and a big man in local affairs." We see this character who appears to be Asa Holman speaking and a black screen that says, "Tex Sherwood is in town with the papers. I've offered Buck and his gang $50,000 reward to get those documents." We then see a man reply, he is Eli Higgins, Holman's lawyer. Holman and Higgins exchange back and forth. Holman looks concerned, saying "I have millions at stake. If he records those papers, I am ruined."

At this point in the film, we find out why it is that Holman is so concerned. We find out that Holman is a sponsor for a large reclamation project, part of which is a million dollar dam nearing completion in the mountains.

All of this takes place during the first 5 minutes of the film and sets the course for the plot to unfold. On the one hand, we have Ted Sherwood, which has just received a piece of land. And on the other hand, we have Asa Holman, the president of the bank, who has a conflict of interest in Sherwood's acquirement. For this reason, Holman has placed a bounty on Sherwood and has a group of men trying to capture Sherwood and bring him to Holman.

Holt (Andre Braugher) assigns a murder case to Jake (Andy Samberg) and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio). Commissioner Kelly appears, advising them to use his new app, HotClues, which allows civilians to send tips to the police.

Taunted by Kelly, they end up using a tip from HotClues to identity the killer's apartment but the killer manages to escape. Another visit to Caleb makes them realize the killer is looking for a heart transplant and the files reveal that Angelo Rinaldi, a member of a crime family, is the person who solicited a transplant. They arrest him and Holt apologizes to Kelly, thanking for the app. However, they discover that Kelly's assistant submitted the tip, discovering that HotClues uses illegal wiretapping throughout all electronic devices in the area to get information. But they can't reveal any of this, because all criminals that were jailed thanks to the app would be released from jail. Besides, Kelly has private conversations where Holt wants to do anything to get rid of him, which would incriminate him and ruin his career. In order to help them fight Kelly, Jake assembles a team of people that are "not loyal to anybody": Chief Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick), Captain Jason "C.J." Stentley (Ken Marino), and Keith "The Vulture" Pembroke (Dean Winters).

Meanwhile, newly-promoted Lieutenant Terry (Terry Crews) finds out that due to the precinct's limited budget not covering his raise, he will be transferred to a Staten Island precinct. Unable to reduce the budget for everything, he realizes the only way for him to stay with his raise in the precinct would be firing somebody. He then talks to a office worker and encourages him to follow his dreams on Broadway, allowing him not to fire him. The plan works and the worker quits, but Terry realizes he is a terrible singer and won't triumph on Broadway. Seeing that he has a family with a poor financial situation, Terry admits that he can't sing and convinces him to stay in the precinct, which means Terry will be transferred.

Suicide Squad (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

To help defeat Kelly's (Phil Reeves) app, Jake (Andy Samberg) has brought Chief Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick), Captain Jason "C.J."

Together with Holt (Andre Braugher), Amy (Melissa Fumero), Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), Terry (Terry Crews) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), they hide on one of the Vulture's apartments to serve as the operation centers.

Jake's plan involves committing a fake crime, which will force Kelly to deploy his Stingray phone tracker. The crime will involve the fake kidnapping of C.J., as his high ranking will be enough to impact the police. In order to stall the investigation, the Vulture will be the lead investigator of the case and Wuntch will plant a bug on Kelly's uniform, which will expose his operation. However, the plan goes awry when C.J. resists the kidnapping, inadvertedly exposing Jake's face, the Vulture hands Jake's hair to forensics, and Wuntch doesn't plant the bug when she sees that Holt sent Terry and Rosa to spy on her.

Holt and Wuntch then infiltrate a police's party to plant the bug. However, Holt realizes that Wuntch betrayed them and is working with Kelly. An NYPD team then arrests the squad after the Vulture also betrays them, having been promised the position of Captain in another precinct. However, this turns out to be part of the plan, as Wuntch clones Kelly's phone to access all his confidential information, exposing his operation. Holt was unaware of this plan, as he would have otherwise not cooperated. Kelly is fired and Wuntch is temporarily promoted to Commissioner. The squad go to the bar to Terry's farewell party when Holt interrupts the party, saying that Wuntch made some changes in the precinct, which will allow Terry to stay. But Holt is demoted to traffic duty officer due to a conversation he had with Wuntch that he only spent a month as a patrolman before becoming a detective, which is in breach of NYPD rules.

A Subway Named Mobius

Shortly after the opening of a new track known as the Boylston Shuttle, Boston MTA train No. 86 goes missing. Whyte, the manager of the system, cannot explain its disappearance nor account for the fact that the system acts as though it was still there, drawing power and causing signals to operate automatically, sometimes miles apart.

It falls to mathematician Professor Roger Tupelo of Harvard to attempt an explanation. Though not a topologist himself, he believes that the new shuttle connection caused the topological complexity of the system to increase to the point where the connectivity became infinite. The train is now running in an extra dimension of space and time. Unfortunately the one mathematician who might understand the problem, Prof. Turnbull of MIT, cannot be located and was almost certainly on the train when it vanished.

Attempts to find the train are futile. Tupelo warns that closing the new shuttle will prevent the train from ever reappearing. Ten weeks pass by. Famous topologists are brought in to analyze the problem, but only manage to disagree with each other. The city prepares to defend multiple lawsuits and deal with investigations by the Federal government.

One day, after cautiously resuming using the MTA himself, Tupelo realizes he is on the missing train and that no time has passed for the passengers. Stopping the train in a tunnel, he tells the driver to get him to a phone so he can contact Whyte. However it is too late. Another train has already vanished.

Ron's Gone Wrong

Tech giant Bubble unveils their latest creation: the B-bot, created by Bubble's CEO Marc Wydell with the intent to make a robot buddy that is designed to help make friends via algorithm. In the city of Nonsuch, California, middle schooler Barney Pudowski is the only kid in his class who does not have a B-bot. His former childhood friends, Savannah Meades, Rich Belcher, Noah, and Ava have all become absorbed by their individual B-bots. On Barney's birthday, his father, Graham, and his grandmother, Donka, come to realize that he does not have any friends. They hastily go to a Bubble store, but it closes for the day, leading them to buy a slightly damaged one from the store's delivery driver.

Barney receives the B-bot as his late-birthday gift, but upon activating it, he quickly learns that it is defective and glitchy. Not wanting to upset his father, Barney decides to take it back to the Bubble store to get it fixed, but ends up running into Rich and his friends who taunt and try to humiliate Barney. The B-bot begins to fight back as his safety functions have been disabled, with him and Barney happily running off. However, Rich called the police and they along with Graham and Donka are taken to the Bubble store so that the B-bot can be crushed. Not wanting to see him go, Barney secretly rescues him and names him Ron, a shortened version of his model number.

When Barney and Ron's actions are reported, Marc is happy to see Ron go against his programming while his COO Andrew Morris views it as bad publicity, believing Ron must be destroyed for the issue to be resolved. Barney teaches Ron how to be a good friend and, while hanging out, runs into Savannah who tells Ron that he needs to help Barney get friends. Despite Barney telling Savannah not to, she posts Ron's actions online, alerting Bubble. The next day, Ron gets out of the house and tries to get "friends" for Barney, bringing a series of random people to school. As Barney gets in trouble, Rich discovers Ron's unlocked function and downloads it, causing all the other B-bots to have their safety features turned off. The B-bots run wild and, in the end, after the B-Bots have a patch update, Savannah is publicly humiliated.

Barney is kicked out from school and tells Ron off, but upon returning home, realizes that Ron was truly being a friend and decides to run away with him when Bubble employees come for him. They briefly run into Savannah, still upset over her incident, and tells her that he is hiding in the woods. Meanwhile, while Andrew warns Marc about the ramifications of the B-bot, Marc sneaks away so that he can meet Ron while Bubble uses their resources to take control of all the B-bots to go looking for Ron and Barney in the woods. Due to the cold weather and Barney's asthma, he becomes weak and Ron brings him back to civilization just outside the school where Savannah, Rich, Noah and Ava rush out to help him.

Barney is taken to the hospital and recuperates before meeting Marc who patched Ron, making him like every other B-Bot. Barney demands that Marc access the cloud to get Ron's original personality, but Andrew took over the Bubble company and locked Marc out. Through an elaborate plan for Barney, Graham, Donka and Marc breaking into Bubble HQ, Barney manages to make it to the Bubble database, finds Ron's original data by his light and uploads him back into his body, restoring him back to his original code.

Nevertheless, Lieselotte promises to grant him permission for her actual body although the girls again denounce such an action. Afterwards, the group discusses the significance of his dream, as well as the reason for Lilith's grimoire, Hermes Apocrypha, shining. However, when Arata touches Hermes, the grimore illuminates before Arata suddenly partially transforms into the Demon Lord which his grimoires quickly attempt to control. Meanwhile, Hermes continues to absorb his magic until a young girl unexpectedly appears. While the group is astonished by the grimoire's transformation, the young girl suddenly address Arata and Lilith as her parents to their surprise. Nevertheless, after recovering from the shock, Arata questions the girl of her identity, but she instead requests that he give her a name. In response, Arata suggests Lilim since she resembles Lilith which the child happily accepts. Arin then arrives upon hearing that Arata and Lilith bore a child, only to become enthralled by Lilim's appearance. The Trinity Seven offers to allow Lilim to address her as mother as well, although the grimoire refuses much to Arin's frustration. Arin then explains that because Lilim possesses both Arata and Lilith's magic, she had believed that the child was theirs but realizes her mistake. Yui next arrives after sensing a strong magic but upon witnessing Lilim becomes jealous that Arata created an offspring with Lilith. The teacher attempts to deny the misunderstanding but eventually concedes to the idea much to Lilim's excitement. Arata then asks Levi, who was hiding in the room, to explain the situation, which the ninja reveals that Hermes had absorbed his magic to transform into a human. Following her explanation, both Akio and Mira arrive to investigate the source of an impure magic when Mira also becomes captivated by Lilim while the misapprehensions continue. Subsequently, Lieselotte and Yui also attempt to use Arata to transform their grimoires as well with no success while the young grimoire is pampered by the remaining girls. However, Arata eventually faints since his magic had been assimilated into Lilim much to Lilith's concern.

In his office, the Headmaster discusses with Master Liber that her prophecy of the Eternal Library awakening had been fulfilled. With the world in crisis, Biblia proposes an alliance with Iscariot which Hijiri and Lugh agree in order to protect Arata. However, Liber reveals that their opponent is an alchemist and product of Outer Alchemic sealed in the Library, the White Demon Lord. Elsewhere in a throne, Last Trinity converses with a female voice of a Magus who orders him to awaken, confirming that the Eternal Library has awakened when a Demon Lord Candidate touched Hermes Apocrypha. As such, in order to become a true Demon Lord, Last becomes determined to defeat the Candidate of the Trinity Seven. After witnessing the scene, Arata awakens in the infirmary upon recovering his magic before leaving to enjoy a bath. Arriving at the hot baths, he encounters the girls bathing much to Mira and Selina's embarrassment, but the others simply accept his presence. While the group rests in the water, Sora and Ilia contemplate Lilim's sudden activation, noting that the original grimoires they descended from were already conscious. Nevertheless, the girls continue to enjoy themselves, which Arata expresses his gratitude towards Lilim. Afterwards, Arata reveals that he had another dream again, which Mira and Yui theorize that someone is manipulating them through magic similar to the latters. As Arata recalls the sequence in detail such as the female voice, his mention of Last Trinity causes a Breakdown Phenomenon from the Luxuria Archive to suddenly appear. In response, the party transforms into their respective Magus Modes before departing to handle the situation.

While running through the halls, the grimoires return to their respective masters before demonic creatures appear to surround the group. Fortunately, Lugh and Hijiri arrive to help them dispatch the demons despite Mira's skepticism of their motive. Hijiri then reveals that they are currently within the Eternal Library where the founder of Outer Alchemic, Hohenheim, was researching the method to create a Demon Lord. The master of the Library, the White Demon Lord's, Last Trinity, goal is to defeat Arata which was probably Hohenheim's plan, including Lilim's transformation. As Arata is able to discern the Demon Lord's presence, a Code D dragon unexpectedly materializes, forcing them to divide into different parties as one battles the beast while the other confronts Last Trinity. As Arata and his group continues forward while eliminating the demons towards Last Trinity's location, a shot is suddenly fired at him but both Arin and Hijiri manage to protect him. The culprit is revealed to be the White Demon Lord who introduces himself before disrupting Arata by absorbing his magic. Capable of using his magic, Last then attempts to dispose the Candidate, but the Ira mages barely manage to defend him again. In response, Hijiri transform into the Satan Mode while Arin summons her Demon Spear Gae Bulg prior to retaliating, seemingly incapacitating the Demon Lord. However, Last quickly regenerates himself, prompting Yui to also unleash a destructive spell onto him, but he again easily recovers. Hijiri once more tries to attack him, but the White Demon Lord simply reflects her magic onto them, excluding Arata and Lilith. Hijiri tries to convince her cousin to depart, but Last constructs a barrier around the academy to seal them within. With the group unable to escape, Last Trinity continues to absorb more of Arata's magic, intending to defeat him and his friends.

Meanwhile, Akio struggles to defend herself from the Code D dragon's onslaught, eventually exhausting her magic and transforming into her younger self. Nevertheless, Levi and Lugh work together to inflict significant damage while the members of Grimoire Security deal the final strike on the dragon. However, in spite of the victory, the girls wonder about Arata and the others' situation. As Last Trinity taunts Lilith while the injured are unable to move, Arata orders her to escape but the Trinity Seven nonetheless refuses. In response, Last prepares his next strike which prompts the alchemist to protect Arata with her body in spit eof his insistence. However, he realizes that he has encountered the situation before, before recalling that Lilim possesses both Lilith and his magic. After groping Lilith's bottom, Arata retrieves Hermes to regain his magic but Last Trinity attempts to interfere by firing his spell. Regardless, the Demon Lord Candidate invokes the Luxuria magic through the grimoire, causing a blinding light to appear... Both Arata and Lilith find themselves in an unknown space when Lilim reveals that they are currently inside her after the former invoked the latter's magic. Arata was able to connect to her because she possesses her magic despite the risks, but Sora warns that if he retrieves his magic, she will revert to her unconscious state. Nevertheless, Lilim is willing to accept her fate although she eventually admits that she wishes to remain together with everyone. As such, the group resolve to find a solution before continuing their next move.

Returning to the moment as Last Trinity's spell is about to strike, Arata manages to deflect the attack using his partially transformed arm. Although, Hijiri notes that his magic does not come from the Demon Lord before Arata and Lilith invoke their magic from the Luxuria Archive. As such, Arata transforms into a Paladin using the magic from Hermes Apocrypha, becoming capable of defeating Last using alchemy. However, he White Demon Lord refuses to accept the situation and once more unleashes his magic onto them, prompting Arata and Lilith to retaliate in return which overwhelms Last Trinity and his barrier. Observing from afar, Master Liber discusses with the Headmaster on Arata becoming a Paladin which the latter happily comments on his Demon Lord Candidate and the Trinity Seven's growth. Liber can only contemplate the extent of Biblia's plan and research. Believing that the conflict has been concluded, the two parties reunite before planning to eliminate the Breakdown Phenomenon. However, Last Trinity begins to resurrect himself, refusing to surrender his ambitions to become the Demon Lord. Nonetheless, Arata pities the White Demon Lord's state, requesting to the girls to support him in ending the Trinity's misery, which they all willingly accept. As each member unleashes their magic, Last Trinity is unable to prevent his destruction, disappearing after Arata assures him that he will become the Demon Lord so the homunculus can rest in peace. With the Breakdown Phenomenon vanquished, the party celebrates their victory as the sun rises, but Lilim unfortunately begins to disappear. Promising to reunite in the future, Lilim bids her parents farewell before reverting to her grimoire form. With the situation resolved, Arata releases his Paladin form but in the processes, causes everyone's clothes to fall apart, much to Lilith's chagrin. In an undisclosed location, two girls discusses the recent events, particularly Arata's strength as a Demon Lord Candidate. The one named Ana suggests to her friend Arsha that they meet with him next which the latter accepts, much to the former's happiness.

Peter and the Wolf (TV special)

Annie and her son, Peter, get a very warm welcome by his grandfather, also named Peter, as they arrive at his house. Later, in the dining room, Annie and Peter discuss their hectic daily routine in Los Angeles with the grandfather. As the conversation goes on, he realizes how little time Peter and his mother spend together, and considers "rectifying" things. It ends with Annie explaining to him how the city can become a scary place. Next, she opens the window and talks to Peter about how the meadow outside used to be her playground, and the "friends" she had with there. The grandfather recollects an event that happened once in that meadow, which Annie starts narrating to Peter.

On the first day of Spring, Peter goes into the meadow to visit his friend, the bird, leaving the garden gate open. The bird is incubating six eggs. While they play together, the duck that lives in the yard takes the opportunity and also goes out, as it's been a long winter for him and he wants to have a "real swim". As the duck starts swimming in a pond nearby, he argues with the bird ("What kind of bird are you if you can't fly?" – "What kind of bird are you if you can't swim?"). Peter's pet cat stalks them quietly, and the bird—warned by Peter—flies away. The cat then aims for the duck, but doesn't manage to catch it either. Peter's grandfather scolds him for being outside in the meadow alone ("What if a wolf came out of the forest all of a sudden?"), and takes him back into the house.

In response to Peter's comment ("But what could happen anyway, with a cat, a duck and stupid little bird?"), Annie continues narrating the story. Soon afterwards "a big, grey wolf" does indeed come out of the forest. The cat quickly climbs into a tree, but the duck, who is in the pond, is overtaken, and swallowed by the wolf.

Peter fetches a rope and climbs over the garden wall, so he can go outside and climb the tree. He asks the bird to fly around the wolf's head to distract him. The wolf gets exhausted, and Peter slowly lowers a noose and catches the wolf by his tail. The wolf struggles to get free, but Peter ties the rope to the tree and the noose only gets tighter.

Some hunters, who have been tracking the wolf, come out of the forest ready to shoot. The wolf gets scared, and pops the swallowed duck alive, out of his mouth. He starts dancing as the wolf is being captured. The hunters are about to shoot either one of the two, but Peter tells not to shoot either of them. Shortly after, the wolf, described as "not a ballet fan", grabs the duck again before being forced to drop him by the hunters. Peter gets them to create a cage for the wolf and help him take it to a zoo. What follows is a victory parade, that includes himself, the bird, the hunters leading the wolf, the cat, and his Grandfather, who in this version, ends up congratulating Peter. The female bird's eggs also hatch.

As the story ends, Peter finds the duck crouching at the pond's edge, shivering and frightened because of his terrible experience, and Peter reassures it that he will always be there to protect him.

Peter starts doubting that the story actually happened. His grandfather shows him the clothes he was wearing that day. Peter then gets excited, and starts wearing them. The special ends with Peter going outside in the meadow (in a mixture of live-action with animation), where he also finds the cat, the duck, and the bird from the story.

Breaking News in Yuba County

Sue Buttons is a timid woman living in Kentucky along with her husband, Karl. Sue wishes to be more assertive in life but is constantly taken advantage of by others. Unbeknownst to Sue, Karl's position at a bank has made him an unwilling participant in a money laundering scheme along with his ex-convict brother Petey. Karl is given three million dollars to launder by criminals Mina and Ray on behalf of Mina's father, Mr. Kim. Sue, whose birthday has been ignored by everyone in her life, drives to Karl's bank to confront him about forgetting her birthday. As she arrives she spots Karl leaving with flowers and believes he is planning a surprise celebration for her. She follows him, only to discover that he is meeting his mistress Leah at a motel. When Sue walks in on him in the act, the combination of shock and physical exertion causes Karl to suddenly die. After ordering Leah to leave, Sue is watching television when she sees a program hosted by TV host Gloria Michaels about a missing child, Emma Rose. She decides to pretend that Karl has gone missing in order to receive the attention and validation she seeks.

After burying Karl and his possessions near the motel, Sue goes to the police station to file a missing persons report, but is ignored by the officers at the station, including Detective Cam Harris. She becomes distraught and trashes her home in frustration, but is interrupted by her half-sister and local news reporter Nancy. Sue claims that she woke up and found her house ransacked, assuming Karl has been abducted. Nancy films an interview with Sue that is broadcast on the news, attracting large amounts of local attention. Detective Harris arrives to investigate the scene and becomes suspicious of Sue's inconsistent story. Petey believes that Mina and Ray are responsible for Karl's kidnapping and confronts them. Mina lies to Petey, telling him that they will return Karl for twenty thousand dollars. After discovering that the money has not been deposited, they assume Karl has fled with the money.

Sue gives an interview to Gloria Michaels claiming that Karl was kidnapped because he knew who had taken the missing Emma Rose, attracting even more attention. Petey and his boss Rita rob a jewelry store in order to raise the money to pay off Mina. Mina and Ray ambush Sue at her home looking for Karl, but leave without harming her. Before an interview between Nancy, Sue, and Emma Rose's parents, Sue is confronted by Leah, who attempts to extort her for the missing three million dollars, which Sue knows nothing about (she buried the funds after, for some reason, not noticing they were part of Karl's possessions). Their conversation is witnessed by Detective Harris. Sue calls Mina and claims that Leah has information about Karl's whereabouts. Harris attempts to question Leah, but finds her house empty, having been kidnapped by Mina and Ray. Petey delivers the ransom, and is told by Mina that Karl will be released. Harris, believing Sue is responsible for Leah's disappearance, detains her for questioning. She is spotted by Nancy, who tips off the media, leading to a large crowd outside the police station. The interrogation is interrupted by Harris's captain, who removes her from the case and releases Sue.

Meanwhile, Rita and Petey kidnap Mina, attempting to use her as ransom to negotiate Karl's release. However, Mr. Kim mistakenly believes that Leah is the hostage that is being negotiated for. Leah lies to him that Sue has both Mina and the money, but is killed by Ray and Mr. Kim with a drill. Petey receives a call that Jonelle is going into labour. When he arrives home, she reveals that she has found a piece of jewelry from the robbery, and gives Petey an ultimatum to give up his life of crime. Back at Rita's store, Rita is shot by Ray, who has come to rescue Mina. He also shoots Rita's wife Debbie, but not before she kills Mina with a hatchet. Ray sets the store on fire. Petey returns to the store, only to discover what has happened. Ray arrives at Petey and Jonelle's house to kill them both, but is ambushed and killed by Jonelle with a knife.

Sue is picked up from the police station by Nancy, who reveals that Sue's conversation with Leah was recorded by one of the microphones for the interview. She demands the truth, but Sue accuses Nancy of being upset that Sue is getting more attention than her. The two are met at Sue's house by Mr. Kim. Sue confesses the truth after Mr. Kim kneecaps Nancy. Mr. Kim brings Sue to the motel at gunpoint, where at the same time Harris and her partner are investigating. Harris finds security footage of Sue at the motel. As she is leaving, she spots Sue and Mr. Kim. After digging up the money, Mr. Kim plans to kill Sue until they are surprised by Harris and her partner. Mr. Kim shoots and kills Harris' partner and is shot and apparently killed by Harris; Sue truthfully screams that she didn't know about the money to an unmoved Harris, but the not-dead Mr. Kim shoots Harris before he is shot again and finally killed. Sue goes to apologize to a dying Harris, who tells her to go fuck herself before she expires. Sue sizes up the situation and realizes that she can call the police and have them determine that Mr. Kim killed Karl and the police before he could kill her, and she gets off scot-free. Emma Rose is found safely at a bus stop in Miami, Florida, having run away from home. One year later, Sue has written a bestselling book about her experience and is interviewed by her 'friend' Gloria Michaels.

The Souvenir Part II

Julie, still reeling over the fatal overdose of her lover Anthony, stays with her parents for a few days, where she informs her mother that her period is late. She soon returns to her flat and to film school. She later visits Anthony’s parents, James and Barbara to return some of his belongings while also learning from them what kind of person Anthony was, though his parents disclose that they knew very little about their son.

While at a film studio where her friends Marland and Garance are working on their final student films, Julie meets Jim, one of the actors of Marland’s film. They have sex that night, and Julie gets her period as Jim performs cunnilingus on her. She then visits Anthony’s addict friends, including the one she found in her flat, to learn about his whereabouts in his final hours, though Suzie, one of the addicts, doesn’t say.

Julie presents a new reel and script for her final student film to the school board, but they are harshly critical of it, citing the lack of clear narrative and improperly-formatted script, and inform her that they will not back her film if she continues on with it. She spends more time with her parents, during which she probes Rosalind for her thoughts about Anthony and information about the last time she saw him. Rosalind states that their last encounter was mostly uneventful, but pleasant. She also says she was fond of him and that she was deeply upset for Julie when she learned of his passing.

In secret from the school and using their studio and equipment, Julie decides to move forward with her film, which is a semi-autobiographical account of her relationship with Anthony. Garance convinces Julie to cast Pete, a young, talented stage actor, as “Alfie” while Julie requests Garance play “Julie.” Julie’s direction quickly becomes a point of consternation for the cast and crew, with Julie not properly communicating her ideas to the actors and having no consistent lighting plot. Pete tells Julie that he suspects that she’s unable to reconcile the person that Anthony was with the person that Julie saw Anthony as.

While meeting with her editor, Max, he gleans more information about Anthony from her, where she discusses the relationship between her and Anthony’s parents and how they’ve each grieved over him, and Max advises her not to shoulder the burden for their individual losses. Later, Julie receives a call from Barbara, who informs her that James was hospitalized from a stroke. Speaking with her therapist, she grapples with whether she actually loved Anthony or if she just craved companionship from someone outside her circle of friends and family, and the therapist tells her that she must live her life and continue finding that level of companionship.

Eventually, Julie premieres her film, entitled The Souvenir, to her class and the school board, during which she envisions a dreamlike sequence in which she metaphorically confronts Anthony’s wrongs against her and receives help from her friends and family in letting him go.

Years later, Julie, now a director of music videos, celebrates her 30th birthday at her flat with friends from film school. The scene is then shown to be set inside the film school studio with a crew surrounding the set where the party is taking place. A voice calls, “Cut,” as the film ends.

Grey Worm and his men are executing Lannister soldiers; when Jon attempts to intervene, he responds that he is acting on Daenerys' orders. Daenerys declares to the Unsullied and Dothraki that they "liberated" the people of King's Landing, and she will "liberate" the entire world. Tyrion publicly resigns as Daenerys' Hand in protest, and she has him arrested for treason.

Arya warns Jon that Daenerys will kill him because his Targaryen heritage makes him a threat to her rule. Jon visits Tyrion in captivity, who tells Jon that despite the love they both have for Daenerys, it is Jon's duty to kill her for being the people's greatest threat. Tyrion also warns Jon that Arya and Sansa will not bend the knee to Daenerys, putting all of House Stark in danger.

Jon confronts Daenerys in the destroyed throne room.

After discovering that Daenerys has been murdered, an anguished Drogon melts the Iron Throne, and then carries her body away to the east.

Everyone agrees with the nomination except for Sansa, who declares the North's independence from the Seven Kingdoms. Now King of the Six Kingdoms, Bran accepts the North's secession and appoints Tyrion as his Hand so that Tyrion can make amends for his various wrongs. Bran sentences Jon to rejoin the Night's Watch for life to appease Grey Worm. He and the Unsullied then depart with the Dothraki for Missandei's homeland of Naath.

A short time later, Tyrion convenes a new Small Council consisting of Bronn (Lord of Highgarden and Master of Coin), Brienne (Lord Commander of the Kingsguard), Davos (Master of Ships), and Sam (Grand Maester). As they begin planning to rebuild King's Landing, Bran, attended by a newly knighted Podrick Payne, briefly meets with the council before departing whilst enquiring the whereabouts of Drogon. Brienne, in her duties as Lord Commander, completes Jaime's entry in the Book of Brothers, which greatly expands his accomplishments. Sam is working on completing a book begun by a previous maester after the death of King Robert Baratheon.

Arya decides to set sail and explore the uncharted Sunset Sea west of Westeros. Sansa returns to Winterfell and is crowned Queen in the North.

As everyone waits for the baby (including Samuel, Nana and Harry), Peggy tells Mike that his plan to live at Joyce's is bad and they should move in with her instead; Joyce doesn't like this and snarls at Peggy, leading the two battle-axes to trade increasingly ugly insults that lead them to the verge of a fistfight. When Joyce jumps into Peggy, Mike pulls her away and Molly announces that if they don't stop, she'll lock the baby up and no one will ever see it. Blanche is standing right behind her and asks if everything is okay, and Molly calms her down, but as soon as Blanche begins to walk away, Joyce and Peggy start fighting again.

Mike goes back to Peggy and she engages in her typical self-pity as she bemoans how she'll never get to see her grandchild because Joyce hates her. He tells her that there's nothing that will keep them apart, with the caveat that Peggy needs to not seek out conflict, but their moment is cut short because the baby phone goes off and Mike runs to find Molly. Everyone gathers in the waiting room and waits until Mike and Molly appear with their newborn son, William Michael Biggs. Molly tells them that she has other news for them as well: she hadn't been feeling well and the reason was that she is finally pregnant. The room glows with smiles and tears of joy for Mike and Molly.

Failing to do so, they head towards Chinatown, with Kevin, Stuart and Bob in pursuit. Arriving back at his destroyed house, a shaken Knuckles laments his friends' betrayal and decides to give up villainy, sending Gru away.

During a Chinese New Year parade in Chinatown, Otto and Gru find each other with the stone but are cornered by the Vicious 6, who in turn are confronted by Anti-Villain League agents. The Vicious 6 then use the stone to turn themselves into superpowered versions of animals from the Zodiac and prepare to kill Gru by tying him to a clock tower to rip him apart. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob manage to find Gru, but are turned into a rabbit, a rooster, and a goat, respectively. However, Knuckles returns and fights the Vicious 6 with the Minions. Encouraged by Chow's teaching, Kevin, Stuart, and Bob find their inner beast and manage to defeat most of the Vicious 6 while Otto saves Gru, but Knuckles is badly burnt by Bottom's dragon flames when trying to take the stone back. After Kevin, Stuart and Bob knock the Vicious 6 out, Gru uses the stone to turn the Vicious 6 into rats and the three Minions back to normal, rehiring them after saving his life.

The Vicious 6 are arrested, including Knuckles, who is taken to a hospital and seemingly succumbs to his injuries. At Knuckles' funeral, Gru gives a heartfelt eulogy but is overjoyed when it is revealed that Knuckles faked his death. He and Gru later drive off with the Minions.

In a mid-credits scene, Gru attempts to hire Dr. Nefario in gratitude for an invention of his that helped him steal the stone. Nefario initially declines but changes his mind after Gru and the Minions beg, giving them a ride on an airship.

The Spectre-Barber

"The Spectre-Barber" is set in sixteenth-century Bremen. A wealthy merchant named Melchior dies suddenly and his son Franz (called François in Eyriès' translation, and Francis in Utterson's) inherits his father's wealth. Franz foolishly squanders his inheritance.

Franz spies a neighbour's daughter, a spinner named Meta, and falls in love with her. With an eye towards regaining fortune and earning Meta's hand in marriage, Franz sells his last possessions, purchases a horse, and sets out on a journey.

On his journey, Franz seeks shelter in a castle, despite rumours that the castle is haunted. In the middle of the night, Franz is awakened and sees the ghost of a barber sharpening his razors. The ghost motions to Franz, who complies and sits in front of the spectre. The spectre "placed the shaving-bib round his neck" and proceeds to remove all hair from Franz's head. Sensing that the spectre wants something, Franz "beckoned the phantom to seat himself in the chair", after which Franz shaves the spectre.

The ghost had been a barber during his life, whose lord would play "all sorts of malicious tricks" on strangers, including preparing a bath for guests, then having the barber shave guests beards and heads closely before suddenly throwing them out "with raillery and ridicule". One victim, a holy man, cursed the ghost to haunt the castle until someone "without being invited or constrained, shall do to you, what you have so long done to others".

In return for Franz having freed the ghost from the curse, the ghost tells Franz to return to Bremen at the Autumn equinox and wait for someone who will tell him what to do.

Players take control of an amnesiac, unconscious Octoling who is found by the character Cap'n Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish was seeking out Agent 3, the protagonist of ''Splatoon'', and decides to help the Octoling after hearing them humming the Squid Sisters' song “Calamari Inkantation”. Cuttlefish and Agent 8 are trapped in a subway-like testing facility called the Deepsea Metro, where a talking telephone identifies the player-character as Applicant 10,008, prompting Cuttlefish to give them the title Agent 8. The Telephone informs them that in order to reach "the promised land", they must traverse through the Metro to collect four objects known as "thangs". Agent 8 is given assistance via radio by Pearl and Marina of the pop band Off the Hook. As Agent 8 clears tests in the underground facility, they obtain small items called Mem Cakes that serve as physical manifestations of their lost memories. After completing several test chambers and collecting all four thangs, which combine into a large blender, the Telephone attempts to kill Agent 8 and Cuttlefish by tricking them into getting into it. However, they are rescued by Agent 3, who is promptly knocked unconscious in the process. Agent 8 then climbs through the depths of the facility towards the surface via a hole that Agent 3 left in the ceiling, while Cuttlefish stays behind to keep watch over Agent 3. As they reach the exit, Agent 8 is confronted by Agent 3, who has been brainwashed by the Telephone. Agent 8 defeats them, freeing them from their mind control.

After reaching the surface, the trio is retrieved by Pearl and Marina, but the facility itself begins to rise from the ocean, revealing itself to be an enormous statue of a human, which shocks everyone due to humans having been extinct for several millennia. From within the statue, the mangled but still functional Telephone introduces itself as Commander Tartar, an AI built by a human scientist prior to mankind's extinction who was programmed to pass the knowledge of humanity on to the next sentient race that emerged after the world flooded. While initially believing Inklings and Octarians to be this sentient race, Tartar was disgusted with both their societies and instead reprogrammed itself with a new objective: to destroy all sentient life and create a new apex species from a genetic ooze made from the finest test subjects. As it prepares to fire an enormous solar-powered cannon from the mouth of the statue and destroy Inkopolis, Marina creates a plan to stop it from charging by covering the statue in ink. The plan is successful, but the statue plans to fire anyway. Pearl uses a voice-powered Princess Cannon weapon to counter the laser and finally destroy both it and Tartar. With the threat averted, the group returns to Inkopolis Square, where Agent 8 joins a community with both the Inklings and their fellow Octolings that had already arrived.

Observation (video game)

The story opens aboard the multi-national space station ''Observation'' in orbit above Earth in the year 2026. An unknown event has crippled 'Observation', leaving it without power and spinning. Dr. Emma Fisher (Kezia Burrows), the station's medical officer, tries to restore contact with Houston as well as the other five members of the crew to ascertain what has happened, without success.

She manages to reboot the stations integrated AI, SAM (Anthony Howell) which controls the station's systems and functions, and is the role the player assumes.

After performing basic diagnostics to find out what happened, SAM receives a transmission of unknown origin, containing coordinates to an unknown location. The station then begins to tremor violently with a deafening sound. SAM becomes unresponsive to Emma while being influenced by the signal, and is instructed to "BRING HER".

SAM recovers after an unspecified period of time has passed, to the sight of Emma having been rendered unconscious following the second event. She eventually comes to, and immediately instructs SAM to run a self-diagnostic. SAM tells Emma the event has caused him to lose most of his core data, and to be disconnected from most of the stations subsystems. He is also unable to locate the other crew members, who are missing and cannot be contacted.

As Emma restores limited functionality back to SAM, he attempts to re-interface with the rest of the space station and reconnect to his own components. Shortly after recovering some mobility, a station alarm goes off which Emma instructs SAM to investigate. SAM discovers a fire in one of the modules.

After extinguishing the fire, they discover an unidentified substance on a blank plate that Emma describes as a dark red oil. Before she can speculate what it is, another alarm goes off. SAM informs her that a module has become dislodged, and severe stress is being applied to the station, prompting recommendation for her to eject it.

They eject the loose module, and the station stabilizes. Concerned there might be extended damage, Emma instructs SAM to check external cameras for other potential risks, and learns that ''Observation'', through unknown means, is now in orbit over Saturn. When Emma asks how the station got over Saturn, SAM checks the station Black Box, which reveals he was the cause but doesn't know how.

Once more, SAM receives interference from an unknown entity and blacks out.

Emma reboots SAM again to effect repairs, saying "You weren't making any sense". She sets about working with SAM to access the other parts of the station. They find the bodies of the crew, including Jim, the mission commander. Discovering another crew member, Mae, to be alive in one of the sealed modules, Emma has SAM help with a spacewalk to get her to safety. However, the Hexagonal cloud pattern on Saturn begins to flash repeatedly, and Mae is left adrift in space. Emma then finds a man-made object near Saturn's orbit. Initially thinking that Earth may have sent a rescue mission to them, they soon find it is an exact duplicate of ''Observation''. A strange hexagonal object then appears to both Sam and Emma and communicates to them in a geographic glyph language before disappearing.

Emma uses SAM to jump to the other station, which has lost nearly all power due to a malfunction of the station's experimental Fusion Reactor. They find Jim on the second station and learn that the crew experienced the same events that brought them to Saturn. As SAM goes to try to restore basic life support, he interacts with this station's SAM, and learns that, 4 years prior to the events of the game, 23 pairs of stars were discovered in which both stars within each pair had identical light curves. When lines were drawn to connect the pairs of stars, the lines intersected at an event marker close to Earth's position. In addition, when the 23 light curve graphs were layered upon each other, the combined graph was found to contain a perfect description of the 23 chromosome pairs of the human genome. Jim reveals that the entire ''Observation'' station had been constructed solely to reach the event marker so the crew could observe what would happen, with Jim having been the only crew member aware of the mission.

Continuing on, Sam encounters another crew member, Josh, who has been hiding from Jim, as Jim has also killed his doppelgänger. Before Josh can reveal more, Jim grabs SAM and Emma, and makes them jump back to Emma's ''Observation''. Jim locks Emma out of the station, claiming that "It wants her", leaving her on little life support. As she clings to life, several other identical ''Observation'' stations appear to start gathering around the storm.

Jim proceeds to lock SAM out of the controls while he sends a desperate message for help to Earth. SAM manages to find several back doors into the station's systems, interacts with the signal to Earth and warns them about the situation. Earth cuts off Jim, who now knows SAM is to blame. As Jim tries to attack SAM's core, the core suddenly explodes into a large amount of dark red oil that infests the entire station. SAM is then ordered by the Hexagonal entity to kill Jim, who does so by locking him in a module that he then depressurizes.

SAM then allows Emma to enter through the airlock. Emma now knows that they need to get to the storm on Saturn, and has SAM adjust their orbit and jettison the rest of the station. They fall into the storm and black out. When Emma wakes, they find themselves on a rocky landscape, with debris and bodies from multiple copies of ''Observation'' around them. They approach a giant version of the hexagonal entity again and make contact. Emma tells a confused SAM that there must have been multiple realities all converging on this point, and they were the first version of Emma and SAM to make it through the ordeal. They disappear briefly into the hexagonal entity.

When they wake up, Emma and SAM find their consciousness has merged, and they are back on Earth by some means. They feel odd but alive, and by touching the ground, they are able to infect it with the dark red oil the same way the entity did to ''Observation''. The combined Emma/SAM persona is then instructed to "BRING THEM".

On one occasion, Naoufel delivers a pizza to a young woman, Gabrielle, at her apartment block. They never see each other, as Naoufel is unable to get through the lobby's malfunctioning security door, but have a conversation through the intercom, and Naoufel becomes infatuated with her.

Naoufel tracks Gabrielle to the library where she works and follows her to a near-by neighborhood where she drops off medicine to a carpenter, her uncle Gigi. Naoufel, seeing an ad for an apprentice in the window, quickly uses this as an excuse for why he is there. Gigi is reluctant but accepts after learning that Naoufel is an orphan. Naoufel moves out of his uncle's house and into an attic apartment provided by Gigi. He learns the tools of the trade and edges closer to Gabrielle, though he never mentions their first encounter.

After a conversation about the arctic, Naoufel builds a wooden igloo on a rooftop of a near-by building for Gabrielle. Returning home one day, he finds his cousin talking to Gabrielle, and finds that he has invited them both to a party. That evening, Naoufel takes Gabrielle to the rooftops, where they discuss fate and Naoufel wonders if it can be changed by doing something unexpected, such as leaping from the roof onto a near-by crane. Naoufel shows Gabrielle the igloo he built and reveals that they had met before when he delivered pizza. Gabrielle is upset, fearing that Naoufel had taken advantage of Gigi solely in order to pursue her. Gabrielle leaves in a rage. Hurt, Naoufel goes to his cousin's party alone and gets into a drunken fight. The next morning, Naoufel goes to work hung-over, sporting a black eye. While cutting wood on a bandsaw, Naoufel is distracted by a fly and tries to catch it, snagging his watch on the blade and severing his hand.

The hand eventually reaches Naoufel and lies on his bed while he sleeps, but it can't re-attach itself and eventually hides under the bed. Naoufel, depressed and hopeless, revisits his old tape recorder, which still has recordings of his parents – including the fatal car ride. Gigi attempts to talk to him, but Naoufel doesn't respond. Gabrielle comes to see him and finds his room empty. Inside the cupboard, she finds an igloo that his severed hand had built out of sugar cubes. After searching the empty igloo on the roof, Gabrielle finds Naoufel's old, abandoned tape recorder and discovers a new recording on it. Listening, she learns he had leapt off the ledge and onto the crane as he had once discussed.

After making the jump, Naoufel lies in the crane and smiles to himself as he looks out at the city. His severed hand retreats into the snow.

Charles sends Diana a necklace and invites her to a performance by cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. There, she meets Camilla again and starts to become a lot more suspicious of her and her relationship with Charles. While the performance is going on, she imagines a more punk-rock version of the concert, more in line with her interests ("This Is How Your People Dance"). The press takes note of Diana's growing relationship with Charles and starts hounding her ("Snap, Click"). Charles is still unsure about marrying Diana, but the Queen tells him that he can keep his close relationship with Camilla while marrying Diana.

Diana goes to a clinic for AIDS patients and bonds with the men there ("Secrets and Lies"). Soon after, Diana learns that Charles and Camilla go out almost every night with their friends, and Diana decides to crash a party for Camilla's sister. At the party, their friends, usually bored by Charles, are excited that they get to witness "The Main Event", which leads to a confrontation between Diana, Camilla, and Charles. On the car ride home, Charles reveals he knows about Diana's relationship with James, which he says he doesn't care about and that the boys will be fine as long as they both love them ("Whatever Love Means Anyway (Reprise)"). Diana is excited to tell James, but he reveals that he has been stationed in Germany and will be there for two years. Diana, suspecting Charles, vows to get revenge ("Pretty, Pretty Girl (Reprise)"). The press increasingly hounds Charles about his failing marriage ("Snap, Click (Reprise)"). Diana contacts Andrew Morton, a writer who is writing a book on her, and agrees to give anonymous quotes to him, bashing Charles, Camilla, and the monarchy. The book is published and is the talk of the country ("The Words Came Pouring Out").

Charles tries to get the Queen to meet Camilla, but she refuses. Charles decides to go on TV, tell the truth about his affair, and try to win back some favor from the public ("I Miss You Most on Sundays (Reprise)"). Diana learns about the interview from Paul, her butler and friend, who comes up with the idea that she draw attention away from it by wearing a "F-You" Dress ("The Dress"). The Queen has had enough and agrees to a divorce between Diana and Charles. She laments that it didn't work out while reflecting on her own marriage ("An Officer's Wife"), and tells Diana "don't be foolish". Diana is excited to start a new life with her boys, however it is tragically cut short by a car accident. Charles and the company tell the audience that "the people who will change the world are not the ones you think will change the world." ("If (Light of the World)")
